according to Human Rights Watch, Israel's October 13 call for the evacuation of 22 hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip was ineffective because the necessary conditions for this, including ensuring the safety of patients and medical staff, were not taken into account. Earlier, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk also called for an investigation into Israel's use of "high explosive weapons" in the Gaza Strip, saying the bombs caused widespread destruction in the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) announced that more than 200 thousand residents of the Gaza Strip have fled the northern part of the Gaza Strip since November 5th. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs stressed that people who have fled to southern Gaza face “overcrowding and limited access to shelter, food and water,” which is a “growing concern.” In addition to committing war crimes, the Zionist regime attacks hospitals in the Gaza Strip and does not allow fuel to be transported into the Gaza Strip to provide electricity to hospitals.
