Israel could kill everyone left in Northern Gaza if its assault on the enclave continues, a United Nations relief official warned on Saturday.
U.N. Acting Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Joyce Msuya also called for an end to the Israeli attack.
“What Israeli forces are doing in besieged North Gaza cannot be allowed to continue,” Msuya said.
In particular, Msuya emphasized Israel’s targeting of hospitals and shelters and interference with relief work.
“Hospitals have been hit, and health workers have been detained. Shelters have been emptied and burned down. First responders have been prevented from saving people from under the rubble. Families have been separated, and men and boys are being taken away by the truckload,” she said.
Msuya estimated that Israel’s actions in the north had killed hundreds and displaced tens of thousands. According toAl Jazeera, an Israeli siege on the north that began earlier in October has killed around 640.

I am almost 75 and earlier in life was a strong supporter of the Israel Project making the deserts bloom, the kibbutz movement, a land for people without a land, a safe haven in their ancestral homeland/promised land for all Jews-never again. Then President Carter wrote a book about apartheid and a close friend told me of his experiences living in Beirut in the late sixties and early seventies, my eyes slowly opened to the Zionist Project of creating a Greater Israel. Since October 7 there has been a lot of coverage of the ongoing genocide yet no one can or will stop them. International laws, conventions, treaties and the UN created after WW2 were in part because of the horrors experienced by all but most of all the Jews. I have listened to many credentialed people regarding the modern history of this ongoing conflict. As Prof. John Mearsheimer likes to say Israel and the US are joined at the hip to the detriment of both. The holocaust can not be used to justify the unjustifiable. What is their “end game” when do they stop the killing? How can Israel ever be safe when they spread death and destruction in every direction? Conquered territories require occupation and fortification, does Israel have the resources and manpower to establish itself in that way? Can they kill all their current and future enemies that arise from their actions? The Zionists repeat over and over that Israel lives in a bad neighborhood and must do disagreeable things to survive because they hate us and want to destroy us. I think l am starting to understand the Arab point of view.
