GAZA, (PIC)
Hamas official Abdul-Rahman Shadeed said Gaza has entered a phase of “total famine” and “acute malnutrition,” accusing Israel of intentionally using starvation as a “weapon of war” to subjugate Palestinians.
In a statement published on the group’s Telegram account, Shadeed said, “Children are dying from the lack of milk, not just from bombs.”
The Hamas official strongly denounced the UN and the international community for their repeated condemnation of Israel’s starvation of the Palestinians in Gaza without taking action to end their suffering.
He said Israeli attacks have also continued across the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem, including the destruction of homes and the displacement of thousands of Palestinians.
“Despite the occupation’s crimes, the resistance is growing stronger and continues to disrupt Israel’s plans,” he added.
He reiterated Hamas’s readiness to negotiate a comprehensive ceasefire and exchange agreement that leads to an end to Israel’s aggression and the withdrawal of its forces from Gaza.
