00:00As they mourn their loved ones killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza's Han Yunis, these Palestinians
00:05are inconsolable.
00:07According to health authorities, overnight strikes on the area Thursday Friday claimed
00:11dozens of lives. Children are among the dead.
00:15A missile hit them in the middle of the house. They did not send a warning or ask them to
00:24leave.
00:26Suddenly I found myself wedged between the rubble and I did not know anything about anyone.
00:31I started screaming and screaming until my brother and father came and they started trying
00:37to get me out until they pulled me out.
00:42In the north of the Gaza Strip, the situation is growing increasingly dire. Israel's military
00:47is pressing ahead with its third offensive in the Jabalia area, saying it is targeting
00:51regrouping Hamas militants.
00:54The fighting is taking a heavy toll on civilians, who are facing intense Israeli bombardments,
00:59mass displacement, the risk of starvation, as well as polio. The strikes hindering the
01:04vaccine rollout.
01:08We were displaced from the Jabalia camp two days ago under bombardment and terror. The
01:13polio vaccine has not entered northern Gaza. The approach of winter increases the risk
01:17that all our children will be exposed to this virus because they have not received the second
01:22dose.
01:25According to the UN Human Rights Chief, the quote, darkest moments of the conflict are
01:29unfolding.
01:32Unimaginably the situation in north Gaza is getting worse by the day. The Israeli government's
01:38policies and practices risk emptying the area of all Palestinians. We are facing what could
01:45amount to atrocity crimes, including potentially extending to crimes against humanity.
01:52The UN Human Rights Chief stated that more than 150,000 are reportedly dead, injured
01:57or missing in Gaza since the conflict broke out.
02:01He fears that this number will rise dramatically due to the scale and intensity of the Israeli
02:06offensive in the north.
