Israeli occupation forces have destroyed approximately 70 per cent of the homes and buildings in Jabalia refugee camp, located in the northern Gaza Strip, during their ongoing military offensive, Wafa reports citing a report published by Israeli newspaper Haaretz.
The report described the camp, which was once one of the most densely populated places in the world, as now resembling a “ghost town.” Prior to the Israeli assault, Jabalia was home to tens of thousands of refugees, but the recent destruction has left the area unrecognisable.
According to Haaretz, Israeli forces began their offensive in Jabalia on October 5, 2024, as part of the broader military campaign that has devastated Gaza. This is the third time Israeli forces have attacked the camp, with previous raids occurring in December 2023 and May 2024.
