GAZA, (PIC)
The Government Media Office (GMO) in the Gaza Strip said that Israel’s continued closure of the crossings is pushing conditions towards an unprecedented catastrophe that threatens the lives of 2.4 million Palestinians amid a genocide being perpetrated by the Israeli occupation forces since October 7, 2023.
The Office added in a statement on Wednesday regarding the repercussions of Israel’s renewed closure of the crossings since March 2, 2025: “For the past 18 months, the Israeli occupation has continued its criminal war against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, using policies of genocide and ethnic cleansing.”
It continued: “In continuation of the closure of the crossings since the start of the genocide and again since early March 2025, the occupation escalated its crimes by making an arbitrary decision to close all crossings leading to the Gaza Strip, completely preventing the entry of humanitarian and relief aid and fuel tankers.”
The GMO clarified that under the humanitarian protocol within the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, which came into effect on January 19, 2025, 600 aid trucks and 50 fuel tankers were supposed to enter daily.
It revealed that since the beginning of March, Israel has prevented the entry of 15,000 aid trucks and 1,250 fuel tankers, warning of a real humanitarian catastrophe.
These aids form a lifeline for the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, who have been turned into impoverished individuals due to the Israeli genocide, according to data from the World Bank.
