The Municipal Emergency Committee in the Gaza Strip has classified the cities of Jabalia and Beit Hanoun as two disaster areas due to the massive destruction that befell them as a result of the Israeli aggression and the military operations that took place there recently.
The committee said on Sunday in a press conference that the Israeli occupation destroyed 50,000 housing units and bulldozed drainage networks and roads in most municipalities in northern Gaza, noting the destruction of 35 water wells, schools, and UNRWA facilities and warning of an imminent famine that now threatens northern Gaza.
In the same context, the Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip announced on Sunday that its teams had recovered 70 bodies in Jabalia and its camp, noting that a large number of the bodies of the martyrs are still under rubble amid attempts to reach them to determine their identity, despite the difficulties and scarcity of capabilities.
Medical sources at Kamal Adwan Hospital said that the toll of those recovered so far has reached more than 120 bodies from the destroyed streets and buildings in Jabalia.
On Friday, the occupation forces withdrew from the northern Gaza Strip after a ground aggression that lasted 20 days, leaving unprecedented widespread destruction, especially in the Jabalia camp, while operations to recover the bodies of the victims from the streets and alleys and from under the rubble of destroyed buildings continue.
