Three Palestinian human rights organisations have issued an urgent appeal to stop Israel’s “genocidal violence against Palestinians in northern Gaza, specifically in Jabalia, Beit Lahiya, and Beit Hanoon”, Al Jazeera reports.

“Israel is directly implementing the so-called “Generals’ Plan”,” in northern Gaza, the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, Al-Haq and the Al Mezan Center for Human Rights warned in the joint statement.

Palestinians in northern Gaza “are being starved to death as Israel continues to prevent humanitarian aid trucks from reaching these areas”, the groups said.

“Those attempting to flee from the area or move from one place to another to search for ‘safety’ or food are being shot at and killed by Israeli snipers, quadcopters, and drones,” they said.

“The streets are filled with dozens of dead bodies and wounded Palestinians, as medical and civil defence teams are unable to access any of these areas without risking being killed,” they add.
