Israel’s seizure of Gaza’s vital Rafah crossing has left Palestinians trapped in the territory for over 100 days, with devastating consequences. The closure has resulted in the death of more than 1000 children, patients, and wounded Palestinians due to the lack of medical supplies and treatments.
The Israeli military’s actions have been condemned as a violation of international law and humanitarian agreements, with the deliberate use of starvation as a political tool to create a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The United Nations, aid workers, and doctors have warned of the dire consequences of the prolonged closure, highlighting the urgent need for medical treatment for over 10,000 people in the enclave.
The Gaza government media office has called on the international community to hold Israel and the United States accountable for the severe effects of closing the Rafah crossing. The deliberate targeting of hospitals and the denial of essential medical supplies have further exacerbated the already dire health and humanitarian situation in Gaza.
