The northern Gaza Strip has been under siege for more than 40 days, Hind Khoudary of Al Jazeera reports.

“Israeli soldiers have surrounded and imposed a strict blockade on Palestinians in Beit Lahiya, Jabalia and Beit Hanoon, where Palestinians are unable to evacuate their besieged homes,” the reporter said.

The reporter said they received many appeals from people in Beit Lahiya who say they’re stuck and need rescuing. They have no food, water or medical aid, she added.

“Other than air strikes and continuing artillery shelling, the military has extensively deployed quadcopters that Israeli forces use to fire live ammunition at Palestinians and kill them in different areas across the Gaza Strip,” she said.
