Gaza, North Gaza
21 October, 2024
At least 26 martyred
Day 17 of Israel's third ground invasion of the North Gaza governorate.
As of midday, [640 people were killed](https://x.com/AnasAlSharif0/status/1848310173422497882) in this Israeli onslaught.
The day started with **raids on multiple schools** notably in the Abu Rashid pond and Sheikh Zayed areas as the IDF carried continued actions taken two days prior: **forcing displaced** people to leave North Gaza, while **shelling other schools** with artillery. All those inside these schools were taken via Al-Awda Street and Jabalia Camp Street [to the Al-Jurn area](https://x.com/Hamzaalnamla1/status/1848318464781439247), reaching the west and south of Gaza City.
However, [IDF tanks struck people](https://x.com/AnasAlSharif0/status/1848314931269029902) despite complying with the displacement orders, murdering and injuring at least a dozen.
Amid the total siege, **living conditions** are [deteriorating](https://x.com/AHM3D_HAMDAN/status/1848283978127872018) to increasingly dangerous levels day by day:
- Food has almost ran out, and water is not fit for consumption. Mothers mix starch and flour with water and sugar if available in the absence of milk
- As the army shoots anyone who moves, people shelter in the rubble and burn tent cloth and furniture instead of firewood.
**Situation at Kamal Adwan hospital**: as Israeli massacres continue escalating in North Gaza:
- hospital staff is exhausted
- No essential supplies left, including [blood units](https://x.com/Dr_Muneer1/status/1848425279313567820), leading to victims being [left to die](https://x.com/AnasAlSharif0/status/1848423139048325425) slowly, in pain. The hospital also ran out of [body bags](https://x.com/AHM3D_HAMDAN/status/1848298906980864273) used as shrouds for the martyrs
- Israel still denies aid and the transfer of patients and injured out of the hospital. ([source](https://x.com/Hamzaalnamla1/status/1848297816960954392))
- International organizations still [idle](https://x.com/mahmoudsabbah94/status/1848424633977975246)
