Gaza civil defence cannot access bombed areas in the north

The civil defence in Gaza says its teams cannot reach areas in northern Gaza, including Jablalia refugee camp, that are being pounded by Israeli shelling.

“What makes it more painful is that our teams remain unable to meet the appeals of our people whose homes were affected by the Israeli bombardment,” it said in a statement on Telegram, warning of "ugly scenes of massacres" in Jabalia camp and the Tal al-Zaatar and Al-Qasasib neighbourhoods.
