JAKARTA - A total of 23 Palestinians were killed by the Israeli military in parts of the northern Gaza region which was trapped on Tuesday morning.

Reportedly 12 people were killed in Israeli fire while trying to escape from the Mashrou area in Beit Lahiya, said Mahmoud Basal, a spokesman for Gaza's Civil Defense.

Residents previously said people in Mashrou received leaflets from the Israeli Defense Forces asking them to leave.

Elsewhere in Beit Lahiya, five people died at Khalifa Bin Zayed's school, Basal told CNN, Tuesday, October 22.

It was reported that one woman was killed at Kamal Adwan Hospital in Jabalya after Israeli artillery fire targeted the entrance to the facility.

Further south, in Gaza City, Israeli airstrikes killed five people at the Al-Dawla intersection.

Palestinians trapped in three cities in northern Gaza Beit Lahiya, Jabalya and Beit Hanoun have recounted a terrible incident over the past two weeks.

Nearly 600 people were killed, according to Basal, after the IDF launched a new attack on October 5 targeting Hamas in the region.

Residents say they cannot get enough food for their families, as the Israeli siege has drained important supplies in the region. Meanwhile, medical staff at local health facilities, including Kamal Adwan Hospital, warned they were having difficulty treating injured patients because they did not have enough fuel, food, or medicine.

The severe shortage of aid in northern Gaza has hampered efforts to restore injured Palestinians, or help bury the dead, according to Philippe Lazzarini, head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA).
