84 lost their lives, among them 50 children, in brutal massacres of zionist forces

According to the Gaza Government Media Office, two Israeli airstrikes targeting residential buildings in northern Gaza have resulted in the deaths of 84 Palestinians, among whom more than 50 were children.

According to a statement released on Friday by the Government Media Office, the Israeli military conducted airstrikes on residential buildings owned by the Shalayel and Ghandour families in the northern Gaza Strip. These strikes resulted in more than 170 civilian casualties, including 84 deaths with over 50 of the deceased being children. The incident has also left dozens missing or injured.

Reports indicate that 84 individuals have been killed in what has been described as a “massacre” due to the absence of civil defense teams, medical services, or other relief efforts in the area, which remains under Israeli siege and continues to face bombardment.

“The statement reported that these incidents coincide with the occupying military forces targeting civilian families located within multi-story residential structures, which are inhabited by both local residents and displaced individuals.”

The statement highlighted the concurrent absence of civil defense units, medical services, and relief teams, which have been targeted and incapacitated by Israeli forces for nearly a month. This situation is also happening alongside the deterioration of the healthcare system in northern Gaza, where hospitals have reportedly been destroyed and are no longer operational, it further reported.

According to reports, the structures were owned by the Shalayel and al-Ghandour families.

The government of Gaza has issued a call to the international community, urging it to fulfill its duty to protect civilians. The statement emphasized that it holds Israel and its ally nations—the United States, France, the United Kingdom, and Germany—accountable for what it described as the ongoing “genocide” occurring in Gaza.

The statement urged the international community, including United Nations bodies and global organizations, to promptly assume their humanitarian responsibilities by protecting civilians and ensuring the safety of hospitals and healthcare facilities.

The statement further emphasized the urgent need for surgical medical teams and ambulances to gain access, as well as the resumption of civil defense operations vital for saving lives. It condemned the targeting of these efforts as a crime against humanity, criticizing the international community’s continued silence on the issue.

**UN Warns: Entire Gaza Population Facing Immediate Risk of Fatality**

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) has announced the evacuation of patients from al-Awda and Indonesian hospitals located in northern Gaza, citing the continuation of the Israeli blockade.

The Palestinian organization announced on X that it had successfully evacuated 21 patients with the assistance of the International Committee of the Red Cross.

The United Nations Inter-Agency Standing Committee has issued a statement, describing the situation in northern Gaza as “apocalyptic,” highlighting the severe and deteriorating humanitarian conditions in the region.

The organization has issued a warning, stating that the entire population faces an “imminent risk of death due to disease, famine, and violence.”

On October 7, 2023, Israel launched a significant military operation in Gaza following a surprise offensive by Hamas-led resistance groups. This response was prompted by escalating tensions and alleged intensified actions by Israel against the Palestinian population.

According to the latest official figures, the occupying forces have reportedly caused the deaths of at least 43,259 Palestinians, predominantly women and children, while injuring an additional 101,827 individuals in the blockaded region of Gaza.

Israel’s recent actions have been characterized by targeted strikes on structures housing displaced Palestinians, raising allegations of potential violations of international law.
