Israel uses massacres, bombings of shelters and hospitals in systematic strategy to evacuate northern Gaza

Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor reports on 22 October 2024:
Israel is systematically and extensively working to drive out the Palestinian population and forcibly displace them from their residential areas in the northern Gaza Strip, using massacres, mass killings, bombings of hospitals and shelters, and the destruction of basic necessities of life. Euro-Med Monitor notes that the basic necessities of life across the Strip, particularly in the north, have already been deteriorating for 12 months.
The Israeli army’s on-the-ground massacres show that the plan to rid the land of its people and eradicate the Palestinian presence is moving forward at an unprecedented pace. Locals who are unable or unwilling to leave their homes are viewed as “terrorists” and are subject to direct targeting and killing.
Along with the Jabalia camp in the northern Gaza Strip, where Israeli aircraft dropped leaflets on Tuesday morning, October 22, urging residents of Beit Lahia, including those in shelters and hospitals, to forcibly evacuate and head towards the Indonesian Hospital in Jabalia, where the occupation forces set up a checkpoint before forcing the residents to leave northern Gaza, as happened over the past two days with thousands of people in the shelters surrounding the Indonesian Hospital, the Israeli occupation army also increased the scope and intensity of its military operations to include the Beit Lahia project.
The Israeli army ordered the evacuation of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in the Beit Lahia project, which houses the greatest number of victims of the Israeli aggression, after the medical staff refused to evacuate it during the initial days of the previous aggression. Israel’s latest forced displacement order includes the hospital.
The hospital’s operations are severely hampered by a shortage of medical supplies and blood units, ongoing shelling in the area, and the exhaustion of medical personnel from treating hundreds of dying and injured people over the course of 18 days.
