AhlulBayt News Agency: More than 1,800 Palestinians have been killed and hundreds more are missing since Israel launched a new wave of genocidal campaign in northern Gaza last month, local authorities say.
In a statement released on Monday, Gaza’s government media office said that 1,800 people were killed and 4,000 wounded in northern Gaza in the past month.
“Over 1,800 people were killed and 4,000 injured while hundreds are still missing in this ongoing aggression,” the statement read.
In northern Gaza, since October 6, the Israeli Forces have been carrying out a ground offensive and imposed a tightened siege, particularly around the area of Jabalia.
The occupation army has also prevented any ambulances or humanitarian aid convoys from entering northern Gaza.
The Israeli regime is using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare in the occupied Gaza Strip, the media office said.
"The occupation army used starvation as a weapon against civilians, prevented 3,800 aid trucks from going into northern Gaza, and deliberately starved nearly 400,000 people there, including more than 100,000 children.”
Local Gaza authorities have also accused Israel of seeking to occupy the area and forcibly displace its residents.
“It also destroyed dozens of displacement and shelter centers that house tens of thousands of displaced people who fled their homes in search of safety and security."
'All hospitals out of service'
Elsewhere in the statement, the media office also said the hospitals were now out of service after coming under intense Israeli fire.
“All hospitals in northern Gaza were destroyed and put out of service, and civil defense crews targeted, with some of them arrested,” it added.
It added that civil defense teams have been hit while on service and some of them have been arrested or prevented from working.
The media office appealed to the international community and UN agencies to assume their responsibilities and pressure Israel to allow the safe passage of aid and “to stop the brutal crimes being committed against civilians in Gaza.”
The Israeli regime's genocidal war on Gaza continues to claim more civilian lives across the besieged Strip, especially in the northern areas.
At least 33 people have been killed and nearly 160 injured in the Israeli deadly strikes in the past day. According to the Gaza Health Ministry, the Palestinian death toll since October 7, 2023, has topped 43,370.
