Hamas Movement said that “UNRWA’s statement that there is no international will to bring aid into Gaza in light of the widespread and expanding famine is a declaration of failure for the international community and the United Nations, and submission to the policies of genocide carried out by the criminal Zionist occupation army against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.”

“We reiterate our call to all active parties to take immediate and urgent action to force the occupation authorities to open all land crossings with the Gaza Strip, especially the Rafah and Kerem Abu Salem crossings, as they are the fastest means of bringing in humanitarian aid, and to address the scarcity of emergency food supplies, which threatens hundreds of children with death, after the death toll of children martyred due to malnutrition and dehydration reached approximately thirty children.”

Every day, the Israeli army escalates its air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip, which has been under relentless bombardment since a cross-border operation was launched by Hamas’s armed wing, al-Qassam Brigades, on October 7.

Besides the large number of casualties and the huge displacement of people, basic food, fuel, water, and medical supplies have run out for the 2.3 million residents in Gaza due to the tight Israeli blockade and the massive destruction of infrastructure and facilities.

On Monday, two Palestinian babies died of malnutrition and a lack of medical supplies in the northern Gaza Strip on the first day of the holy month of Ramadan, bringing the death toll of hunger in the Strip to 27.
