GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Government Media Office (GMO) in Gaza said that famine is deepening in the Gaza Strip, warning of a humanitarian catastrophe in which hundreds of thousands of children and women would perish from hunger.
The GMO called on Russia, China, and Turkey as well as all countries of the free world, international organizations, Arab and Islamic countries, the League of Arab States, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the Gulf Cooperation Council, to urgently break the siege on the Gaza Strip, and to apply pressure for an end to the genocidal war and to stop starvation against the Palestinian people in Gaza.
The Office said on Tuesday that “The famine is deepening day after day in the governorates of the Gaza Strip, whose population is estimated at approximately 2,400,000 people. The governorates of Gaza and North Gaza are witnessing the most accurate levels of hunger, which indicates a potential humanitarian catastrophe that would cause more than 700,000 Palestinians to die of starvation.
Meanwhile, dozens of Palestinians in Gaza and North Gaza governorates took to the streets, on Tuesday, in rejection of starvation that has been used as a weapon by the Israeli occupation army against civilians in the besieged enclave.
The GMO’s statement pointed out that the Israeli occupation has been pursuing a policy of starvation and thirst against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of its genocidal war against civilians, mostly children and women, with a special focus on Gaza and North Gaza governorates, by banning the entry of aid into the Strip.
The GMO called for immediate and urgent stop of the genocidal war against civilians, children, and women as well as for lifting of the siege and bringing 10,000 aid trucks over the next two days into Gaza.
It held the US administration and the international community, in addition to Israel, fully responsible for this famine.
