Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, director of Kamal Adwan hospital who accused Israel of blocking the entry of food, water, medical staff and materials destined for the north, said that a large number of children and elderly people continue to arrive to the hospital suffering from malnutrition.

The WHO has also raised alarm over the dire conditions in hospitals across northern Gaza, with Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya facing what its director called an “extreme catastrophe.” WHO spokeswoman Margaret Harris told journalists in Geneva

“We are very, very concerned, and it’s getting harder and harder to get the aid in. It’s getting harder and harder to get the specialist personnel in at a time when there is greater and greater need.”

Norway is to ask the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for an advisory opinion after the Israeli occupation Knesset prevented UNRWA from practicing its work in Israel-occupied territories which makes the agency unable to enter aid to the Gaza Strip, according to The Guardian.

Norway’s deputy foreign minister, Andreas Motzfeldt Kravik, discussed at the United Nations in New York to draft resolution about this issue for the UN General Assembly.

“The international community cannot accept that the UN, international humanitarian organisations, and states continue to face systematic obstacles when working in Palestine and delivering humanitarian assistance to Palestinians under occupation,” Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said.

Ahmed Mansour writes:

Jabalia has become a cemetery for the soldiers of the Israeli occupation army because of the intensity of the fighting and the high number of deaths.

Amit Halevi, member of the Knesset for the Likud Party says: The military operation in Jabalia should not have been launched, and Israel Katz (new Defense Minister) should instruct the army to change its plans. We lost 24 soldiers and officers there in a month and a half. Have we gone crazy?”

These are the official numbers that are recognized, but the Israeli losses are always many times what they announce.

Israeli army radio said that 27 Israeli soldiers were killed in Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip since the start of the latest ground operation that started on 5 October, 2024.
