At least 100,000 Palestinians have been forced to leave northern Gaza in
the last 24 hours, the UN reported on 15 November, as the already
catastrophic conditions continue to worsen amid Israel's continuous
airstrikes and denial of aid delivery requests.
“Chaos, suffering, despair, death, and destruction in northern Gaza is a
daily reality as access is at a low point,” stated Jens Laerke,
spokesperson for the UN Humanitarian Coordination Office (OCHA), who spoke
to reporters in Geneva earlier this morning.
All indicators in Gaza show that “we're going in the wrong direction,”
Laerke added.
“Displacement is at a high point, and it is near impossible to deliver aid
in there,” he warned.
Staff working on the ground in Gaza told Laerke that UN efforts to deliver
aid are being “stifled.”
“One of my colleagues described it as, from a human front for a
humanitarian worker, which he is, [that] when you are faced with a
situation like that, you want to jump. You want to jump up and do
something. But what he added was, our legs are broken; we're asked to jump,
but our legs are broken. That is the picture of it right now.”
Israel is currently seeking to implement the so-called Generals' Plan by
forcibly displacing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes
in the north Gaza towns of Jabalia, Beit Lahia, and Beit Hanoun while
starving or killing anyone who remains.
A recent report from Israel's Channel 12 TV showed starving and thirsty
Palestinians fleeing through one of the Israeli army's “drainage points” in
Jabalia. At the drainage point, the soldiers abduct the men and some of the
boys, claiming they are Hamas members, while terrified women and children
flee, carrying whatever possessions they can.

’interviews’ desperate and terrorized women and children to solicit
anti-Hamas comments as they walk through the post-apocalyptic landscape.
