Because of the intransigence of the occupation … the ghost of the famine threatens Gaza

The media office in Gaza warned against the exacerbation of the situation in the destroyed sector, with the Israeli occupation insisting on closing the crossings for the thirteenth day in a row.

The office said, in a statement today (Friday), that the closure of Israel, the sector crossings, doubled the suffering of 150,000 Palestinians from chronic and wounded diseases.

He stated that 90% of the Palestinians do not find water after preventing the fuel operating for wells and desalination plants, and that the running out of fuel caused 25% of the sector’s bakeries to work.

According to the statement, about 80% of the Palestinians lost their sources of food, whether by stopping charitable quantities or by stopping the disbursement of relief aid. The office talked about the risk of famine due to the Israeli siege applied to the Strip and preventing the entry of aid.

He stressed that the previous indicators reflect a picture of more than 2.4 million people inside the Gaza Strip, after the Israeli occupation decided to kill them slowly, so it tightened their siege and prevented them from all the elements of life and made Gaza a large prison.

He warned that the hours, not the coming days, will carry with it more deterioration of the afflicted humanitarian reality on the living, health and environmental levels, with the entrenches of famine, food and water insecurity, and the collapse of the services and health system almost completely.

The office held the Israeli occupation leaders responsible for this crime and all that results in it, led by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

He called on the Arab and Islamic countries to break the siege on Gaza, pressure to open the Rafah crossing, ensure the introduction of the needs of citizens and the priorities of the sector, and appealed to the international community not to submit to the will of the occupation, take practical measures to break the siege and hold the war criminals accountable, and ensure that they are not impunitive.
