Euro-Med: Israel systematically expels north Gaza residents through massacres and destruction

The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has accused Israel of systematically and extensively working on expelling and displacing Palestinian citizens from their areas in northern Gaza through committing massacres and destroying everything.

“The massacres that are being committed on the ground by the Israeli army indicates that there is a plan being implemented at an unprecedented speed to empty the land of its inhabitants and eliminate the Palestinian presence, while the residents who refuse or unable to evacuate their homes are treated as terrorists and face killing and direct targeting,” Euro-Med said in a statement on Tuesday.

“Israeli aircraft dropped leaflets on Tuesday morning, October 22, demanding the residents of Beit Lahia, including those in shelters and hospitals, to forcibly evacuate the area and head towards the Indonesian Hospital in Jabalia, where the occupation forces have a checkpoint, before forcing the residents to leave northern Gaza in its entirety, as happened during the past two days to thousands who were in shelters around the Indonesian Hospitals,” Euro-Med pointed out.

The new Israeli displacement order also targets the civilians at the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia, which receives the largest number of casualties, according to Euro-Med.

During the first days of the recent Israeli aggression in northern Gaza, the medical crews at the Kamal Adwan had refused to respond to a similar evacuation order.

“The Kamal Adwan Hospital is facing major challenges in its work as a result of the lack of blood units and medical consumables, which have run out, and the ongoing bombardment around the building, in addition to the exhaustion of the medical staff who received hundreds of killed and wounded citizens during 18 days,” Euro-Med said.

“Israeli forces bombed most of the shelter centers in Jabalia camp and Jabalia [city], targeting the displaced people to force them to comply with the orders and plans of displacement. They also targeted them while they were responding to that — an incident that happened once again on Monday when they attacked Al-Fawqa School, killing 17 Palestinians and injuring dozens,” Euro-Med affirmed.

Euro-Med called on the UN anew to declare the northern Gaza Strip a disaster area, take immediate action in this regard, and force Israel to stop its genocidal crimes there.
