The humanitarian situation in Jenin deteriorated as Israeli attacks continued
The Palestinian Red Crescent reported on Wednesday a worsening humanitarian situation in the city of Jenin, attributing it to continuous aggressions by the IOF (Israeli Occupation Forces) since yesterday.
Director of Jenin Hospital Wisam Bakr reported serious complications faced by both patients and medical staff on the second day of the IOF’s siege and incursion.
A source reported that IOF forces are besieging hospitals in Jenin, imposing a security cordon on the city and carrying out a campaign of arrests.
The aggression coincides with ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip.
According to the organization, Jenin is grappling with a severe shortage of infant formula and bread, with restrictions imposed by occupation forces hindering the movement of citizens and impeding the arrival of medical teams to assist the injured and wounded.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health has so far reported the martyrdom of eight individuals in Jenin since the commencement of Israeli aggression.
Amidst the Israeli invasion, Palestinian resistance fighters persist in confronting the IOF’s incursion into the city. The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades in Jenin confirmed intense clashes, marked by heavy gunfire and explosive devices on multiple fronts.
Earlier today, the IOF targeted a house in the eastern neighborhood using a grenade launcher. The aggression resulted in extensive destruction. Several other homes were attacked and besieged, and Israeli bulldozers reportedly destroyed infrastructure in Jenin.
Yesterday, the IOF announced the launch of a new aggression in Jenin, marking the largest aggression since the incursion in July of last year. The situation remains dire, with growing concerns for the well-being of the civilian population in Jenin.
