Northern Gaza: 130,000 Children Deprived of Food and Medicine Under Israeli Siege

 

Northern Gaza: 130,000 Children Deprived of Food and Medicine Under Israeli Siege

Since early October, Israel has been conducting an ethnic cleansing campaign in northern Gaza

The international charity Save the Children said in a press release on Monday that about 130,000 Palestinian children under the age of 10 have been trapped under an Israeli siege in northern Gaza for 50 days.

The organization said children living in north Gaza “have been almost completely cut off from supplies of food, water, and medicine since October 6, 2024, when Israeli forces declared the area to be a closed military zone, with the independent Famine Review Committee (FRC) saying that famine is either imminent or likely already occurring in the area.”

In early October, Israel ordered the evacuation of northern Gaza and declared the area a military zone as part of an ethnic cleansing campaign. The operation has been focused on the cities of Beit Lahia, Jabalia, and Beit Hanoun, which have been under a total siege, and barely any aid has reached Gaza City.
