At least 25 people died this Tuesday in the north of the Gaza Strip due to an Israeli attack that targeted the home of the Al Misry family, in the town of Beit Lahia, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported. Medical sources cited by the Sawa agency have raised the death toll to 30 in the northern area, among 44 fatalities in the entire Palestinian enclave since dawn on Tuesday.
Israeli troops continue to hit northern Gaza by air and by land, especially the towns of Beit Lahia and Jabalia, which have remained surrounded by tanks for a month, a period in which more than 1,800 people have died and 4,000 have been injured. , in addition to many others who remain under the rubble of the attacked buildings and who have not been able to be treated in the hospitals and medical centers in the area, as reported by the Gaza Ministry of Health and the emergency teams and ambulances.
The Israeli Army reported early Tuesday in a statement that troops “have eliminated dozens of terrorists in the Jabalia area in direct confrontations and airstrikes, and have dismantled terrorist infrastructure.”
This is the third time that Israel has punished northern Gaza, with bombings and ground operations, since the beginning of the offensive against the Strip about 13 months ago. On this occasion, the Army began its operation in the north at the beginning of October, alleging that the Islamist group Hamas was reorganizing in that area, where its infrastructure had already been previously dismantled, as Israel had assured.
On the other hand, this Tuesday the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that on Wednesday more than 100 critical patients, a third of them children, will be evacuated from Gaza so that they can receive adequate treatment outside the Strip. “Many of them suffer from serious trauma and many others from chronic diseases,” explained the head of the WHO office in the occupied Palestinian territories, Rik Peeperkorn, quoted by the EFE Agency.
According to Peeperkorn, the patients will be evacuated tomorrow morning in a large convoy through the Kerem Shalom crossing between Gaza and southern Israel, from where they will then travel to the United Arab Emirates and Romania, in the largest operation of its kind since the start of the war in October 2023.
Peeperkorn recalled that another 12,000 critical patients need to be evacuated from the Strip, many of them affected with serious trauma such as amputations, injuries, or burns, but also with chronic diseases. Since Israel took control of the Rafah border crossing last May, only 282 patients have been able to be taken out of Gaza by the WHO and other organizations to be treated in medical centers outside the Palestinian territory.
