Over 2,000 killed in north Gaza by Israeli forces since latest assault 

Israeli forces have killed at least 2,000 civilians across the northern Gaza Strip in 38 days since the start of a new offensive there, seen as part of a plan to ethnically cleanse the area of Palestinians, the Gaza-based government media office said on Tuesday. 

Ismail al-Thawabtah, the directo-general of the office, said: "The continued Israeli aggression on the northern Gaza Strip for 38 days has resulted in the martyrdom of over 2,000 civilians, the majority of whom are children, women, and the elderly."

He reiterated his call for immediate intervention from the international community to stop the "war of genocide" being carried out against Palestinians, particularly in northern Gaza. 

He also placed responsibility for the ongoing violence in the United States, the United Kingdom and several European nations, accusing them of being complicit in the policies of "starvation and genocide."
