In Gaza's northern regions, thousands of Palestinians have been displaced amid a brutal offensive by Israeli forces, leading to widespread destruction of homes and infrastructure. Rights groups express concern over the possibility of permanent exclusion of residents from these areas, as the situation continues to deteriorate.

Jabalia camp, Beit Lahiya, and Beit Hanoun were heavily targeted, with the Israeli military claiming necessary actions against militant threats. Former residents describe scenes of devastation, with entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble. Verification of the damage remains challenging due to restricted media access.

Humanitarian conditions worsen as calls from beneath debris echo despair. The Human Rights Watch highlights systematic displacement, suggesting a plan for ethnic cleansing. Despite Israel's claims of civilians being ordered to evacuate for their safety, accusations of deliberate hardships continue as aid struggles to reach the afflicted population.
