Life has become \u201cimpossible\u201d for civilians trapped in the north amid repeated orders to move and severely limited access to essential humanitarian supplies, leaving many on the brink of starvation, OHCHR said on Sunday.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile the Israeli military has demanded that all civilians leave north Gaza, it has continued to relentlessly bomb and attack the area, especially in and around Jabalya Camp. These attacks have made it extremely dangerous for civilians to flee.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\nIt also reported fears among Palestinians that leaving could mean they will never be allowed to return to their homes.<\/p>\n
Israeli forces have destroyed homes and schools serving as shelters, leaving many civilians with no refuge as winter approaches.<\/p>\n
A deadly airstrike on Saturday hit a residential block in Beit Lahiya, killing at least 87 people, according to the Gazan health ministry.<\/p>\n
Attacks on hospital<\/h2>\n
The suffering has deepened further as hospitals struggle with critical shortages of fuel and medical supplies, and rescue teams report being blocked or attacked while attempting lifesaving operations.<\/p>\n
\u201cHospitals have been hit and are left without power while injured people are left without care,<\/strong>\u201d Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) said on social media.<\/p>\n\u201cDenying and weaponizing humanitarian assistance to achieve military purposes is a sign of how low the moral compass is\u2026no one should beg to assist or to be assisted,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Every minute counts<\/h2>\n
UN relief coordination office, OCHA, urged Israeli authorities to allow immediate access to rescue dozens still trapped under rubble.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery minute counts\u2026previously, delayed approvals resulted in rescue teams only recovering dead bodies,<\/strong>\u201d it said in a post on X.<\/p>\nInternet access has been disrupted and at least three Palestinian journalists killed, limiting the flow of information from the region.<\/p>\n
War must stop now<\/h2>\n
The UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process also condemned the continuing attacks.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe nightmare in Gaza is intensifying. Horrifying scenes are unfolding in the northern Strip amidst conflict, relentless Israeli strikes and an ever-worsening humanitarian crisis,\u201d Tor Wennesland said in a statement on Sunday.<\/p>\n
He called for the immediate end of the war, the release of hostages held by Hamas, and an end to forced displacement. He emphasized the need to protect civilians and allow unimpeded humanitarian aid.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe path ahead will require courage, political will and renewed dialogue.<\/strong> We owe it to the families suffering in Gaza and Israel. The war must stop now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
