OHCHR Alarmed by Israels Military Operations in Northern Gaza Strip

General


The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) expressed growing alarm over Israels military operations in northern Gaza Strip, saying that life has become “impossible” for civilians trapped in the north amid repeated orders to move and severely limited access to essential humanitarian supplies.

In a statement, the UN Human Rights Office said it was increasingly concerned that the manner in which the Israeli military is conducting hostilities in north Gaza, along with unlawful interference with humanitarian assistance and orders that are leading to forced displacement, may be causing the destruction of the Palestinian population in Gazas northernmost governate through death and displacement.

The dire situation has left many on the brink of starvation, OHCHR said.

“While the Israeli military has demanded that all civilians leave north Gaza, it has continued to relentlessly bomb and attack the area, especially in and around Jabalya Camp. These attacks have made it extremely dange
rous for civilians to flee,” OHCHR added.
