At least 33 Palestinians killed and more than 80 wounded in Israeli strike on northern Gaza’s Jabalia camp, which has been under siege by Israel’s military for more than two weeks.
Fares Afana, head of emergency services in northern Gaza, told Al Jazeera that ambulance crews and rescue workers are unable to retrieve the wounded and dying in Jabalia, while the bodies of the dead are lying in the streets “decomposing and eaten by stray dogs.”
“We received several emergency calls from people in the vicinity of Abu Ghazala School. However, we cannot respond to these calls as the Israeli soldiers deployed in the area are denying us access,” Afana said.
“It is confirmed that many dead bodies as well as wounded civilians are still lying in these residential homes. We had earlier appealed to the international community, namely the Red Cross, to act swiftly to at least spare the lives of those dying victims, and recover and bury the dead,” he said.
“Many of the dead are left on the streets, decomposing and eaten by stray dogs, as the [Israeli army] continue to deny paramedics access to the bombed areas,” he added.
Mohamad Salha, acting director of al-Awda Hospital, said his facility is overwhelmed treating about 70 wounded in the latest deadly attack on Jabalia.
Israeli forces also targeted al-Awda Hospital in the Jabalia and Kamal Adwan Hospital and Indonesian Hospital in Beit Lahiya. No casualties or injuries have been reported so far.
