Extermination & Genocide in Jabalia As ‘Israel’ Retains West’s Backing
The Government Media Office in the Gaza Strip released a statement revealing that the Israeli occupation's actions in Jabalia amount to extermination as the death toll is expected to reach 50 martyrs amid IOF bombardment of residential buildings and warnings to local hospitals.
The Israeli occupation forces continued its campaign of extermination and genocide in the Jabalia Camp, located in the northern Gaza Strip, resulting in a massacre that killed 33 people, including 21 women. According to the Government Media Office in the Gaza Strip, the death toll is expected to rise as many Palestinians remain trapped under the rubble of residential buildings that were bombed by the occupation forces.
The massacre has also left over 85 people injured, with several in critical condition amid an ongoing seige of the sector, systematic destruction of hospitals, and the murder of doctors and nurses since the start of the genocide on October 7.
The Government Media Office stated on Friday, in a press release, that it condemned the Israeli occupation’s brutal actions.
“The Israeli occupation army continues its clear campaign of extermination and genocide in Jabalia Camp,” the statement read, underscoring that the attack targeted several homes belonging to the Hawajri, Nassar, and Abu Al-Eish families.
Pointing fingers at several EU countries, the US, and “Israel” the statement added that this horrific act was carried out “with full backing from the US administration and certain European countries like the United Kingdom, Germany, and France, who are involved in this genocide and ethnic cleansing.”
The attack comes amid the ongoing collapse of the healthcare system in northern Gaza, an area that is home to around 400,000 residents. The occupation forces have issued threats against hospitals in the area, demanding their evacuation in a bid to maximize the death toll the Media Office reported stressing the systematic and deliberate destruction of the healthcare system.
Furthermore, the statement stressed that the Israeli occupation is preventing fuel from reaching hospitals and has severed communications and internet access in the region, worsening the humanitarian crisis.
The statement from the Government Media Office also condemned the international community’s inaction, criticizing the “moral collapse of the world” for watching silently as genocide is committed against the Palestinian people.
“We strongly condemn the Israeli occupation’s new massacre and the continued campaign of genocide and ethnic cleansing against civilians, children, and women,” the statement emphasized, urging countries to speak out against the ongoing atrocities.
The responsibility for these crimes extends beyond “Israel”, the statement argued, stating that “we hold the Israeli occupation, the US administration, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and all the countries involved in this genocide fully responsible for the continued crimes of genocide, particularly the ethnic cleansing and extermination in Jabalia Camp.”
The statement concluded with a call to the international community and global organizations to act swiftly and decisively. “We call on the international community and all global organizations to pressure the occupation to stop the genocide in Jabalia Camp, to end the ethnic cleansing against our Palestinian people, and to put an end to the bloodshed in Gaza.”
In turn, our correspondent affirmed, once again, that the Israeli occupation continues to systematically target schools and gatherings of displaced people in the northern Gaza Strip.
‘Israel’ halts all commercial food imports to Gaza: Reuters
Reuters reported earlier on Thursday that “Israel” has ceased processing requests from Gaza-based traders to import food, further choking off supplies to the besieged Palestinian Strip.
According to sources involved in the trade, this abrupt halt, which began on October 11, has driven food deliveries into Gaza to their lowest level since the start of the ongoing war.
For the past six months, this track had accounted for more than half of Gaza’s provisions, with traders importing goods from the occupied territories and the West Bank.
Data analyzed by Reuters shows that the daily average of truck deliveries, which previously stood at 175 between May and September, has dropped to just 29 trucks, including both aid and commercial goods.
