Gaza: Hamas has called for serious measures to end the ongoing blockade imposed by Israel, stating that for seven consecutive weeks, all essential items necessary for life, including food, medicine, and fuel, have been blocked from entering Gaza.
According to a statement issued by the Palestinian group, the Israeli siege goes beyond restricting aid; it also involves targeting water wells and desalination plants and obstructing relief operations along with food distribution centres.
The statement demands that the United Nations and the international community intervene to stop what it describes as a policy of mass starvation and ensure that humanitarian aid, food, and medical supplies reach civilians in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas further urged Arab and Muslim countries to contribute towards ending what it calls the “unjust blockade” and criticized the actions of the Israeli government, led by Prime Minister Netanyahu, for daily violations of international laws and conventions.
