Amjad Shawa, Director of the Palestinian NGO Network (PNGO), has condemned the ongoing Israeli military operations in Gaza, stating that more than 100 people — mostly women and children — have been killed in the past 24 hours as airstrikes intensify across the besieged territory.
Speaking in an interview with Alqahera News Channel, Shawa accused the Israeli military of deliberately targeting entire families and civilian homes without distinction. “The occupation is systematically enforcing forced displacement,” he said, adding that Israeli forces now control between 79 and 80 percent of the Gaza Strip. “Civilians have been pushed into less than 20 percent of the area. Northern Gaza has been entirely transformed into an uninhabitable evacuation zone.”
Shawa also warned of an escalating humanitarian catastrophe as hospitals come under direct attack. He cited a recent strike on Al-Awda Hospital, where missile fire ignited fires in fuel and medicine storage facilities, hindering emergency response teams from reaching the site. He also referenced previous Israeli attacks on the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza.
“These strikes are not only war crimes; they are part of a broader strategy to forcibly evacuate civilians by dismantling the healthcare system,” Shawa said. “Wounded individuals are left without treatment as hospitals are forced out of service, pushing Gaza’s fragile health infrastructure to the brink of collapse.”
He called the targeting of the health sector a blatant violation of international humanitarian law and urged the international community to act immediately. “This is a historic responsibility,” he said, emphasizing the urgency of protecting civilians and ensuring the delivery of humanitarian aid.
As the bombardment continues, humanitarian agencies warn that Gaza is facing a spiraling crisis with little room left for safe shelter, medicine, or medical care.
