In the latest series of Israeli attacks on the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, at least 90 people have lost their lives, and over 100 individuals have sustained injuries. The strikes, which occurred on Sunday, targeted a residential block owned by the al-Barsh and Alwan families in Jabalia, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry as reported by the Palestinian news agency Wafa.
Among the casualties were women and children, with numerous individuals still unaccounted for, according to Wafa's report. First responders and local residents are actively searching for the wounded, and it is feared that additional bodies may be trapped beneath the rubble.
Several of the injured, including children, were transported to nearby medical centers, which are already overwhelmed with patients. Tragically, the son of Dawoud Shehab, the spokesperson for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group, was among those killed, as confirmed by an official from the group to Reuters.
The intensity of the Israeli fire has made it challenging to remove rubble and recover those trapped beneath, the official explained. In central Gaza’s Deir el-Balah, medics reported at least 12 Palestinians killed and dozens wounded, while in Rafah in the south, an Israeli air attack on a house claimed at least four lives.
The escalation of artillery shelling by Israel in southern Gaza, particularly in Khan Younis and Rafah, where many displaced Palestinians are seeking shelter, has further exacerbated the humanitarian crisis. Starving individuals are resorting to desperate measures, seizing food and water from aid trucks.
While Israel announced the reopening of the Karem Abu Salem Crossing in the east on Sunday, it remains unclear whether supplies have successfully crossed. The United Nations estimates that approximately 1.9 million people, constituting 80 percent of Gaza’s population, have been displaced by the ongoing conflict.
Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), expressed deep concern, stating that he would not be surprised if people begin succumbing to hunger, diseases, and weakened immunity as a result of the dire humanitarian situation.
