The Civil Defense Directorate in Gaza warned on Friday that “the Israeli occupation’s continued prevention of the entry of basic food supplies and medicine for besieged citizens in the Gaza Strip and northern governorates threatens the lives of more than seven hundred thousand citizens with death every moment.”

In a statement posted on the Ministry of Interior’s Telegram channel, the Civil Defense said, “The suffering of citizens in Gaza and the north is worsening daily, as thousands of them are waiting to die either due to hunger or Israeli targeting, in light of a suspicious Arab and international silence in the face of this suffering and daily killing,” it added.

The statement pointed out that “the Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is entering its 140th day, without anyone with a conscience acting to save the remaining lives in Gaza.”

Since October 7, Israel, which is on trial before the ICJ on charges of committing genocide crimes against the Palestinians, has been waging a devastating war on Gaza that has left 29,514 martyrs and 69,616 injured, mostly children and women, in addition to thousands of people missing under the rubble, according to the Palestinian authorities.
