URGENT CALL The North of Gaza where nearly 400,000 Palestinians live has been subjected to a complete siege for the last 17 days. No food, fuel, water, or medications have been allowed to enter the area. We are receiving reports about starvation, which has been responsible for the death of many children. The area that includes the Jabalia Refugee Camp, Jabalia, Beit Hanoun, and Beit Lahia is constantly bombarded by Israeli air strikes, artillery, and tanks with indiscriminate shelling. Hundreds of civilians, mainly women and children, were killed. Hundreds others are injured and many cannot reach medical facilities. The three hospitals in the area, the Kamal Edwan Hospital, the Indonesian Hospital, and Al-Awda have been under siege for 17 days with hundreds of patients who cannot access food and medication. The hospital also cannot access fuel for the generators to perform life saving operations. The Indonesian hospital is about to collapse. According to UNRWA, the Israeli army is refusing to allow first aid teams to reach injured Palestinians trapped under the rubble of their destroyed homes. Many massacres were also committed in the North of Gaza, the last one in Beit Lahia killing 72 civilians and injuring many others. We are continuously receiving calls for help from families under siege, including injured and pregnant women. The Israeli clear goal is the ethnic cleansing of the North of Gaza. We call on all people, human rights organizations and Governments to do whatever is possible to pressure the Israeli authorities to stop this terrible man made humanitarian disaster.
