Archivist Notes: Day 374: North Gaza invasion

Day 10 of Israel's 3rd ground invasion of Jabalia, was characterized by Israel's clear focus on denying the population access to any form of sustenance, pursuing a policy of deliberate starvation. The UN WFP confirmed that north Gaza has not receiving any food aid since October 1st, four days before Israel's invasion started.

The day also a saw a number of direct targeting by Israel of rescue crews during rescue missions, along with the continued enforcement of kill zones in the neighborhoods of Jabalia Al-Balad, Al-Nazla, Beit Lahia or Beit Hanoun source

The UN special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territory Francesca Albanese denounced the attacks on the north as "another massacre". She said Palestinians in Jabalia "are killed – both in groups and one by one – amid unspeakable cruelty and sadism" by Israeli troops "who have accepted to be ‘willing executioners’ of a genocidal plan".
