❗️Press Release Issued by Gaza's Government Media Office:

Gaza Strip on the Brink of a Humanitarian Catastrophe Amid Ongoing Genocide and International Silence

"Amid the ongoing genocidal war and aggression carried out by the brutal Israeli occupation army against the Gaza Strip, more than 2.4 million Palestinians are facing an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe. The Israeli occupation continues its policy of genocide and daily killings of unarmed civilians, targeting people, infrastructure, and nature without any deterrence from the international community.

The occupation's insistence on closing the crossings to and from Gaza and preventing the entry of humanitarian aid is exacerbating the already dire crisis. Our Palestinian people are suffering from a systematic starvation policy, as the occupation forces block food and medical supply trucks, leading to rising levels of hunger and malnutrition, especially among over one million children and the elderly.

Furthermore, the occupation persists in its policy of depriving people of water by destroying wells and restricting access to drinking water. This has resulted in a severe water crisis that threatens the lives of Palestinians, as clean water sources become unavailable and diseases spread due to contamination and the collapse of basic health services.

In a blatant display of the occupation’s systematic destruction of civilian life, it continues to prevent the entry of cooking gas and fuel into Gaza, causing bakeries and essential facilities to shut down. The transportation sector has also been paralyzed, making movement within the Strip nearly impossible and increasing the suffering of patients and the wounded who urgently need to reach hospitals and medical centers.

We are facing a compounded humanitarian catastrophe, whose severity continues to escalate under this suffocating blockade, while the disgraceful silence of the international and Arab communities emboldens the occupation to persist in its criminal policies without accountability.

Accordingly, we stress that the international community must, now more than ever, uphold its legal and moral responsibilities and take immediate action to stop these crimes, which the Israeli occupation is committing with impunity. We also demand the urgent opening of the crossings to allow humanitarian aid to enter and save the lives of innocent people who are facing slow death in Gaza.

We hold the Israeli occupation and the US administration fully responsible for these ongoing crimes against civilians and call on all countries to exert pressure on the occupation to halt these atrocities, open the crossings, and immediately allow the entry of aid before it is too late."

❗️Statement by Hamas:

"The Zionist occupation army continues its brutal assault on unarmed civilians—including children, women, and the elderly—in the Gaza Strip, intensifying its bombardment of homes, residential neighborhoods, and shelters across the enclave. The death toll from this ongoing wave of extermination has now exceeded 630 martyrs, amid a total siege and the complete denial of all necessities of life, including food, water, medicine, and fuel.

The crimes committed by the government of the terrorist Netanyahu constitute a blatant and unprecedented violation of international laws, displaying utter disregard for all humanitarian values and conventions established to protect civilians in times of war.

We call on the international community, the United Nations, and its institutions—foremost among them the Security Council—to fully assume their responsibilities regarding the war crimes and acts of genocide taking place in Gaza.

We also renew our appeal to our Arab and Islamic nations—governments, peoples, and organizations—to fulfill their historical responsibility in supporting the Palestinian people, taking urgent action to break the unjust siege on Gaza, and making serious efforts to stop the horrific massacres being committed against them."
