GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center)The Government Emergency Operations Room in the southern governorates has categorically denied Israeli claims that border crossings have been reopened and humanitarian aid is entering Gaza, describing them as entirely false.
The statement confirms that the crossings have remained closed for the 83rd consecutive day, amid escalating acts of genocide.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Operations Room condemned the continued closure of the crossings, despite Israeli assertions days ago about allowing the flow of humanitarian and medical aid. It clarified that all aid trucks remain stuck and have not been granted entry.
The statement added that this delay appears deliberate and may be part of a new Israeli plan aimed at undermining UN humanitarian institutions and militarizing aid delivery.
It further noted that several logistics companies have already approached humanitarian organizations, offering to deliver aid into Gaza on the condition that it be handed over to specific parties—at an exorbitant cost exceeding 130,000 shekels per truck.
The Operations Room called on the international community and UN institutions to intervene immediately to lift the blockade on Gaza permanently, end the genocide against civilians, and save the lives of innocent people—including children, women, the elderly, and the sick—who face daily death due to the collapse of healthcare and the total depletion of medicines.
It stressed that humanitarian aid must be delivered exclusively through UN agencies, warning against any alternative channels.
The statement also warned of the grave consequences of the continued policy of starvation, thirst, mass killing, and forced displacement, which results in the daily death of hundreds, including entire families erased from the civil registry, as well as the spread of disease and severe malnutrition among people of all ages.
