The Palestinian civil defense society announced that it has halted its operations in northern Gaza as a result of Israeli occupation’s devastating aggression and threats.
The spokesman for civil defense in northern Gaza, Mahmoud Basal, has said in a brief statement on Thursday morning, “We regret to announce that we are no longer able to provide humanitarian services in the entire North Governorate due to the Israeli occupation forces threats to kill and bomb civil defense crews unless they leave Jabalia refugee camp.”
He pointed out that civil defense crews were targeted and a number of them were injured, while others were bleeding on the streets and no one could save them.
The Society had earlier said in a statement on Wednesday that its “operations have completely ceased in North Gaza province, and the situation has become catastrophic”, adding that “residents in the area are now without essential humanitarian services.”
The Gaza Civil Defense Society revealed that its crews were subjected to direct Israeli shelling in the northern Gaza Strip governorate, which resulted in the injury of three of its members.
The statement also noted that “Israeli occupation forces in the Sheikh Zayed area arrested five of our staff and took them to an undisclosed location.”
