The Israeli occupation army stripped a number of Palestinian citizens of their clothes, including children and the elderly, and gathered them in a playground in the Gaza Strip. This was stated in video clips published by the occupation army soldiers on the “X” platform.

The clips showed many Palestinian civilians being detained by Israeli soldiers and gathered half-naked in a playground in the Gaza Strip. The images highlighted tank nozzles being directed at the Palestinians, including children and the elderly.

In turn, the Hamas movement confirmed in a statement that the Israeli occupation army soldiers photographing dozens of Palestinian civilians in Gaza after arresting them and stripping them of their clothes in light of the cold weather, is a war crime, and a reflection of the moral and ethical decline of this fascist army, which carries out such an act against defenseless civilians. Including children and the elderly.

In its statement, Hamas called on human rights organizations to document this heinous crime that violates the most basic human rights, and to follow up on the conditions of those civilians, most of whom are detained by the occupation army in undeclared places and whose fate or health conditions are unknown.

The Israeli army has been escalating its war on Gaza since last October 7, leaving, as of Monday, 20,674 martyrs, 54,536 wounded, most of them children and women, massive destruction of infrastructure and an unprecedented humanitarian disaster, according to the official authorities in Gaza.

Meanwhile, Gemma Connell, team leader of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, said that thousands of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip followed evacuation orders issued by the Israeli army and searched for safety in specific areas, only to find that they had only a small space left in the densely populated Strip.

According to the American Al-Hurra satellite channel, on Tuesday, Connell, who leads a United Nations humanitarian team in the Gaza Strip and has been working there for several weeks, said that she had visited the Deir al-Balah neighborhood, in the middle of the Gaza Strip, and that people were heading south with all their possessions in the Gaza Strip. Vans and cars trying to find a “safe place”.

She noted that “I spoke to many people. There is such little space left here in Rafah that people do not know where they are going, and it is as if people are being moved around a human chessboard because there is an evacuation order somewhere.”

The UN official described it as a “human chessboard” within which thousands of people are fleeing who have already been displaced several times, pointing out that there is no guarantee that their next destination will be safe, as “people are fleeing from that area to another area. But they are not safe there.” .

Connell spoke about the death of a nine-year-old boy named Ahmed in Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah, where many of the wounded from the Israeli air strikes were transferred, last Sunday. She, “Connell,” spent about an hour and a half in this hospital.

She added, “He was not in an area for which evacuation orders had been issued, but rather in an area that was supposed to be safe. There is no safe place in Gaza,” revealing that new air strikes occurred while she was in the hospital and that she personally witnessed new wounded being brought in.

The Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said in a post on the “X” platform earlier that the World Health Organization team heard “horrific” testimonies from medical teams about the bombing of the Maghazi Palestinian refugee camp in central Gaza, adding that these accounts were collected by its teams. From Al-Aqsa Hospital, to which the victims of this Israeli bombing, which left dozens dead and wounded, were transferred.

Tedros stressed that “the number of patients the hospital is treating far exceeds its capacity in terms of beds and medical staff,” warning that this bombing “clearly shows why the fire must cease immediately.”
