The Israeli occupation military has killed over 770 Palestinians in just 19 days of intense airstrikes on the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, according to a statement from Gaza's Government Media Office released on Wednesday.

The bombardment has also left more than 1,000 Palestinians injured, while over 200 civilians, including women, have reportedly been kidnapped by Israeli occupation forces, with fears that some may have been executed.

The refugee camp has been a focal point of Israel's ongoing 'genocidal operation,' with the assault expanding into nearby areas like Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun.

As the violence intensifies, the United Nations has reported that no trucks carrying food, water, or medicine have entered northern Gaza since September 30.

'The smell of death is everywhere,' said Philippe Lazzarini, commissioner-general of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), painting a grim picture of the situation, with civilians 'just waiting to die' as Israel's military campaign continues unabated.

Since the start of the war in October 2023, nearly 43,000 Palestinians have been killed, according to local health authorities, with more than 100,000 others injured and unable to access medical treatment due to Israel's ongoing blockade.

Despite international calls for an immediate ceasefire, including a UN Security Council resolution, Israel has continued to commit atrocities in Gaza, further displacing the majority of the territory's population and leaving the humanitarian situation at a breaking point.
