Gaza’s tribal dignitaries have condemned the Israeli occupation army’s “use of food and starvation as a weapon” against their people in the coastal enclave, appealing to regional leaders and US president Donald Trump to end the blockade and allow in humanitarian aid.
“There is no safe drinking water, no food and no humanitarian aid for over 60 days. We are suffering from sweeping starvation,” a spokesman for “the National Gathering of Tribes, Clans and Families in Gaza” read a statement during a news conference held on Saturday.
“We call upon the entire world’s free people to hold massive rallies and move to open the border crossing to save our people and bring aid into Gaza. We are dying of hunger due to the ongoing blockade and the closure of the crossings,” the spokesman said.
“No more silence — act urgently to rescue Gaza. Gaza’s children and people are dying of hunger,” he added.
For its part, the Hamas Movement has applauded the “steadfast Palestinians in Gaza,” particularly the families and tribes, for their deep national loyalty, high security awareness and their rejection of any attempt to undermine their unity and internal front.
In a statement, Hamas also commended Gaza’s families and tribes for their refusal to shield individuals engaged in illegal activities and for their call to establish committees to safeguard stability and prevent disorder in Gaza.
