In a statement issued by the Gaza media office, urgent intervention from the international community is requested to address the crisis in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli occupation and US administration are being accused of perpetuating famine by preventing the entry of essential aid and supplies, putting the lives of 2.4 million Palestinians at risk. Specifically, the lives of 3,500 children are in danger due to malnutrition and starvation.
The media office warns that the threat of famine is growing, leading to a potential increase in deaths, especially among children. The denial of entry for aid and humanitarian needs into Gaza is labeled as a war crime that violates international humanitarian law. Immediate action is required to open crossings for aid delivery and end the ongoing atrocities committed by the occupying forces.
The call for intervention aims to alleviate the humanitarian crisis and prevent further loss of life in Gaza. The world is urged to respond promptly to save the lives of countless innocent civilians facing the brutal consequences of deprivation and oppression.
