GAZA, (PIC)
Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson for the Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip, said that the Israeli occupation has not ceased its bombardment of inhabited homes, particularly in the northern areas of the Gaza Strip.
Basal confirmed in a press statement on Sunday that this bombardment has resulted in the destruction of a large number of buildings and infrastructure, and even service providers have not been spared from this bombing.
He pointed out that Israeli artillery and drones pose a significant threat to citizens, creating a constant state of fear and terror.
He said that all the appeals we have made to international organizations and humanitarian institutions have not succeeded in changing the dire situation faced by citizens in the Gaza Strip.
He reminded that the medical system and civil defense are completely inactive in the northern governorate, and they have not been permitted to return to rescue operations.
Furthermore, he noted that the Israeli occupation army has not allowed the entry of civil defense vehicles and equipment for over 400 days, affirming the intention of the Israeli occupation army to keep the civil defense system in a state of paralysis, unable to respond to emergencies.
He emphasized that there are more than 100,000 citizens in the northern governorate of Gaza without food, water, or medicine, and all of them are in urgent need of basic necessities of life, but “unfortunately, we are unable to provide any assistance to them.”
He sent a message to the free people of the world, urging them to increase pressure on the international community to help service providers and enable them to fulfill their humanitarian duties in accordance with related humanitarian laws.
He said, “We do not ask for anything other than to provide humanitarian assistance to our people amid the war on the Strip, and we hope to continue our work without any obstacles.”
