GAZA, (The Palestinian Information Center) The Government Media Office (GMO) in Gaza said on Monday that Israel is enforcing a starvation policy by closing the “Zikim crossing” and blocking the entry of aid trucks for ten consecutive days without justification.
In a statement, the GMO confirmed that the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) have sealed the Zikim crossing for the past ten days, preventing any trucks from entering. At the same time, Israel has sharply reduced aid deliveries through the Kerem Shalom and Kissufim crossings, both of which it has closed repeatedly in recent weeks.
The GMO stressed that Gaza requires more than 600 aid trucks daily to cover the bare minimum needs of over 2.4 million people, amid near-total collapse of infrastructure due to ongoing genocide and systematic destruction.
It held Israel and its allies fully responsible for the escalating humanitarian catastrophe, calling on the United Nations, Arab and Muslim countries, and the international community to take urgent and decisive action to open the crossings and ensure the steady flow of humanitarian aid, especially food, baby formula, and life-saving medicines.
The GMO also called for holding Israel accountable for its “horrific crimes against defenseless civilians.”
