Palestinian civil defence team 'trapped' in north Gaza with besieged citizens

Members of the Palestinian civil defence in the Gaza Strip are trapped in the northern district alongside tens of thousands of citizens who have been under Israeli siege and attacks for 11 days, the organisation has said. 

"The Israeli occupation army continues to target our crews with drones to hinder our access to the wounded," the civil defence said on Tuesday, according to Al Arabi TV. 

"A large number of victims are still under the rubble and we are unable to reach them."
