GAZA, (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Gaza’s Government Media Office (GMO) said that only 73 aid trucks entered the embattled enclave on Sunday, amid a deepening famine caused by long months of tight Israeli blockade.
In a statement on Sunday evening, GMO warned that the humanitarian crisis in Gaza reached unprecedented levels, with at least 133 people, including 87 children, reported dead from hunger.
“The famine is expanding at an alarming rate and now affecting the entire population of Gaza, including 1.1 million children,” GMO added.
“73 trucks carrying aid entered the north and south of the Gaza Strip, but most of them were looted and robbed in full view of the occupation army and its drones,” GMO said.
GMO accused the Israeli occupation army of clearly obstructing the movement of those aid trucks and preventing them from reaching distribution warehouses as part of its “policy of engineering chaos and starvation” in Gaza.
GMO noted that three aid airdrops were carried out over Gaza, but their total payload was equivalent to only two aid trucks.
Those drops landed in areas designated by the Israeli army as red combat zones, where civilians cannot safely enter to retrieve supplies, GMO added.
“What is happening is a farce,” GMO said, accusing the international community, especially major powers like the US, of complicity in the starvation of Gaza people through making false promises and giving misleading information.
“The radical solution lies solely in urgently opening the crossings of the Gaza Strip without preconditions, breaking the unjust siege on its population and immediately allowing in food and infant formula before it is too late,” GMO underlined.
