    Death toll in Jabalia rises to 110 – Hamas officials

    Hamas officials state that the death toll from airstrikes in Jabalia, northern Gaza, has reached 110. While details are still being clarified, here’s a summary of the current information:

    • On Sunday, strikes hit a residential block, resulting in numerous casualties and leaving at least 50 people trapped under rubble, as reported by Hamas officials in Gaza.

    The Israeli military, though not directly addressing the incident, has confirmed its operations in the area, targeting what it deems “terrorist infrastructure.”

    A journalist in the vicinity reported that civilians are actively involved in rescuing those still trapped under the rubble. Palestinian civil defense faces challenges in gaining access to the site.

    Aid worker reports ‘actual starvation’ in Gaza refugee camp

    Jabalia is the biggest of the eight refugee camps in Gaza. Around 116,000 individuals reside in an area of 1. 4 square kilometers (about 0. 5 square miles), as reported by the UN.

    Khalid helps people in Jabalia. He says to the BBC’s World Service radio that almost everything has been used up and all basic needs are almost fulfilled.

    “There is indeed serious hunger,” he explains, as bakery shops are now running out of flour.

    Lately, a few vehicles with aid were permitted to enter Gaza to bring necessary supplies, but aid agencies believe it is not nearly sufficient.

    Khalid says the amount of stock sent to Jabalia is only enough for one shelter.
