GAZA: The Palestinian territory’s civil defense agency said on Wednesday that the Israeli army increased its shelling of northern Gaza and shut down roads, making it impossible for aid to get there.
Palestinian medical personnel reported that Israeli forces continued their assault on the Jabalia refugee camp in the north of the enclave, which included at least 18 fatalities from overnight military strikes on Gaza.
According to the Palestinian Civil Emergency Service, it has received unconfirmed reports that a number of Palestinians may have been killed in Jabalia and other parts of northern Gaza, but it is unable to reach them due to Israeli bombing.
Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNRWA), posted on X on Wednesday, “At least 400,000 people are trapped in the area.” On Tuesday, the army demanded an additional evacuation after declaring that it had surrounded Jabalia in northern Gaza over the weekend.
