GAZA, (PIC)

Satellite images captured between October 24 and November 12 this year
reveal extensive demolition of buildings and land clearing, along with
vegetation fires in northern Gaza.

The images indicate systematic demolitions in the Jabalia refugee camp,
where the Israeli occupying forces destroyed the Jabalia market and a
residential block in the Qassasib neighborhood, alongside a heavy presence
of military vehicles in the area.

The images also reveal land clearing and building demolitions in the
eastern part of the camp, as well as widespread destruction in the Beit
Lahiya project area, accompanied by a significant military presence.

Israeli occupying forces are imposing a suffocating blockade on northern
Gaza, targeting anyone attempting to bring water or operate wells in the
region amid severe shortages of food, water, medicine, and fuel. The
blockade prevents humanitarian aid and drinking water trucks from reaching
northern Gaza, exacerbating the suffering of its residents.

Dozens of bodies remain scattered in homes and streets, particularly in
Jabalia camp, with no one able to retrieve them due to the catastrophic
conditions. Injured individuals are still trapped in their homes, unable to
reach hospitals for treatment.

Israeli forces have cut off northern Gaza from the city of Gaza using
military vehicles, supported by drone cover, increasing the suffering of
residents and obstructing any humanitarian aid.

On October 5, the Israeli army launched a ground invasion in northern Gaza,
claiming it was to “prevent Hamas from regaining strength in the area.”
However, on-the-ground data and testimonies from survivors indicate that
the army is effectively reoccupying northern Gaza and turning it into a
buffer zone after forcibly displacing its residents, under continuous
deadly bombardment and a strict blockade preventing the entry of food,
water, and medicine.

With U.S. support, the Israeli occupation has been committing genocide in
Gaza since October 7, 2023, resulting in over 147,000 Palestinian
casualties, most of whom are children and women, and more than 10,000
missing persons. This has led to immense destruction and famine, claiming
the lives of dozens of children and the elderly, marking one of the worst
humanitarian disasters in the world.
