On Sunday, November 24, day 415 of the ongoing Israeli assault on the entire population of 2.2 million people in the Gaza Strip, Israeli occupation forces continued their aggression with multiple attacks in several parts of Gaza.
Update: Nov. 24, 2024 11:59 pm Gaza report:
Tents housing thousands of displaced people in several areas of the Gaza Strip were severely damaged on Sunday after rainwater flooded them, damaging and destroying the belongings of the people, and the mattresses that people had been sleeping on.
Rescue teams explained that the areas where the tents of the displaced were damaged were concentrated in: the Yarmouk Stadium shelter camp, the Gaza Municipality Park, the Beach Camp area, and the tents set up in some schools, as well as in the middle and south of the Strip in Wadi al-Dumaitha in al-Qarara, the Wadi al-Salqa area, the vicinity of the Al-Amal neighborhood pond, the Al-Aqsa University campus, the Al-Shakoush area in Mawasi Rafah, and the Al-Birka and the sea coast area in Deir al-Balah.
The teams warned of the serious repercussions that would affect the lives of the displaced, if the low-lying areas were to be flooded with rainwater, in light of the blockage of sewage channels, due to the Israeli occupation army’s destruction of the infrastructure, and the fear also of the collapse of homes and buildings in which Palestinians are displaced, which are unfit for habitation and are at risk of collapse, due to their exposure to the continuous Israeli occupation bombing.
The teams called on the international community to save the lives of the displaced people in the camps in the Gaza Strip before it is too late, and to help them and provide them with tents and caravans to protect them from the damage of winter.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) confirmed that the flour and food supplies allowed by the Israeli occupation through the crossings do not meet 6% of the population’s needs, which has caused a severe crisis in supplies of bread and other food, which led to the closure of most bakeries in the southern Gaza Strip.
UNRWA explained that more than two million displaced people in the Gaza Strip are besieged by hunger, thirst, disease and fear, and that obtaining meals has become an impossible task for families in the Strip.
Updated from Nov. 24, 2024 12:15 pm Gaza report:
The Israeli occupation forces continued their aggression and genocide crimes in the northern Gaza Strip, for the fifty-first consecutive day, bombing homes and infrastructure, and imposing a tight siege that prevents medicine, food and water, to force citizens to flee south.
The aggression on the northern governorate has left more than 2,000 killed over the past 51 days, hundreds of wounded and detained, and the displacement of more than half of its population of about 200,000 citizens, amid catastrophic humanitarian conditions, and the destruction of entire residential neighborhoods.
In recent weeks, the occupation forces have forced tens of thousands of citizens to flee from the northern governorate to Gaza City, in an occupation attempt to establish a buffer zone.
About 80,000 people who remained in their homes or the buildings they were displaced to in northern Gaza are suffering from tragic conditions, as a result of the intensive raids and fire from vehicles and drones.
Despite the displacement of tens of thousands from the northern Gaza Strip, many residents still refuse to leave their homes, and live daily scenes of destruction and devastation, with the humanitarian situation worsening under the tight siege, continuous bombing, scarcity of food and medicine, and the lack of any rescue teams.
Famine has worsened in most areas of the Gaza Strip as a result of the ongoing occupation siege, especially in the north, following the persistence of genocide and starvation, coinciding with the arrival of winter for the second consecutive year for about two million displaced Palestinians, most of whom are sleeping in tents.
Citizens in Gaza are also suffering from a policy of starvation due to a shortage of food supplies, because the occupation is obstructing the entry of humanitarian aid into the Strip, according to the confirmations of many international and UN institutions.
The international community is calling on Israel to facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza, to prevent famine, but to no avail.
Also Sunday, Abu Obeida, spokesperson for the al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Hamas party, confirmed that after weeks of lost communication, contact was reestablished with fighters guarding Israeli prisoners. According to Obeida, one Israeli female prisoner was killed in an area under intense Israeli attack in northern Gaza.
The Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression on the Gaza Strip, by land, sea and air, since October 7, 2023, which resulted in the killing of 44,176 citizens, the majority of whom are women and children, and the injury of 104,473 others, in an incomplete toll, as thousands of victims are still under the rubble and on the roads, and ambulance and rescue crews cannot reach them.
