The team lead and health specialist from Save the Children International warned that apocalyptic scenes are unfolding in northern Gaza.

“We are seeing the apocalypse now unfolding in the north of Gaza. People are being constantly bombarded with aerial attacks and of course, we know that the food and the water is not sufficient. The convoys of food and water are being denied into the north … It is absolutely catastrophic,” Rachael Cummings told Al Jazeera. 

The entirety of northern Gaza is under Israeli evacuation orders but many people have stayed as there is nowhere safe to flee the relentless bombardments. The Israeli army has previously ordered residents to flee towards the so-called “humanitarian zone” of al-Mawasi, even though it has been targeted in deadly airstrikes and is severely overcrowded.
