“What Israeli forces are doing in besieged North Gaza cannot be allowed to continue,” the human rights official said.

Israel could kill everyone left in Northern Gaza if its assault on the enclave continues, a United Nations relief official warned on Saturday

“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,”

Msuya estimated that Israel’s actions in the north had killed hundreds and displaced tens of thousands. According to Al Jazeera, an Israeli siege on the north that began earlier in October has killed around 640.

“The Biden-Harris administration must stop the flow of U.S. weapons to Israel which constitutes a necessary step to halting Israel’s ongoing war crimes,” IMEU wrote on social media Saturday. “It’s time for an arms embargo now.”

    Statement on North Gaza by Joyce Msuya, Acting Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator

    What Israeli forces are doing in besieged North Gaza cannot be allowed to continue.

    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.

    Hundreds of Palestinians have reportedly been killed. Tens of thousands have been forced to flee yet again.

    The entire population of North Gaza is at risk of dying.

    Such blatant disregard for basic humanity and for the laws of war must stop.

    Please explain how this does not warrant the headline of Israel May Kill Every Palestinian Left in North Gaza, UN Official Warns.

      Truth Out is notoriously low quality journalism that routinely, distorts the facts, or misrepresents them. This article is yet another example.

        Did the UN official not make that statement? Is there another way to interpret it? What distortion do you allege here?

        Or are you just killing the messenger?
