Egypt strongly condemned the Israeli occupation’s bombing of a residential area in Beit Lahia, located in the northern Gaza Strip, which has resulted in numerous Palestinian civilian casualties.
Egypt denounced Israel’s ongoing targeting of defenseless civilians in the Gaza Strip, including the attacks on residential areas, hospitals, and schools. ‘There is no moral or military justification for the significant loss of life among Palestinian civilians, particularly women and children,’ Egypt said in a statement on Sunday.
Egypt emphasized the urgent need to activate international accountability mechanisms to alleviate the suffering of civilians in Gaza and to halt Israel’s attacks and intimidation of non-combatants, which violate fundamental principles of international law and humanitarian law.
Egypt reiterated its call for the Security Council to fulfill its responsibilities in maintaining international peace and security, warning of the serious consequences if the international community fails to interve
ne promptly to stop the Israeli aggression.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that Israel committed 7 massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, killed 84 people and injured 158 others over the past 24 hours. The Ministry added that the deaths toll of the Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza rose to 87 people killed and missing under the rubble, while more than 40 others injured, including very critical cases.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces continued intensively shelling, the city and targeted the “Fadous” area north of Beit Lahia, on Sunday, amid the usual international condemnation.
After one year of the Israeli geocidal war on the Gaza Strip, Israel escalated its fierce genocide against the residents of the north of the Gaza Strip to occupy and control over it, pushing the Palestinians into the southern part of the strip, which comes under the non-stop aggression.
In north of the strip, Israel bombed homes in Jabalia and besieged shelters. Also, Israeli occupation soldiers fire at anyone wh
o tries to leave the besieged areas to get food and at even ambulances and civil defense vehicles.
The director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in the north said that the occupation army bombed it and opened fire violently at it and targeted water tanks and the electricity network
As a result, missing and wounded people under the rubble lost their lives due to the occupation preventing and obstructing the arrival of ambulance and civil defense crews to them.
