Stray Dogs Eating Dead in Northern Gaza, Emergency Services Say
Stray dogs are consuming the bodies of Palestinians killed in northern Gaza, complicating efforts to identify the deceased. Fares Afana, the head of emergency services in northern Gaza, reported to CNN that the bodies of Palestinians show signs of scavenging by animals, making it difficult for his team to perform their duties normally.
The situation in northern Gaza is dire, with Israeli military strikes devastating roads and leaving residents starving. Afana described the scene as “a real genocide,” with thousands of children and expectant mothers trapped in the besieged territory.
The UNRWA has warned of a real risk of famine in Gaza, emphasizing the need for humanitarian assistance to prevent a hunger crisis. Despite reports of aid entering the region, Israeli forces have fired on residents seeking food at UNRWA-operated aid warehouses, further exacerbating the situation.
