GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Hamas Movement called on Arab and Muslim countries, the United Nations and the international community to take urgent action to break the Gaza siege and stop Israel’s humanitarian crimes.
Hamas said that Israel’s barring of entry of all aid and goods into Gaza constitutes “a crime of collective punishment against innocent civilians and a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law”.
“Preventing the arrival of food, medicine, and basic needs is a clear war crime and a desperate attempt to strangle our steadfast people,” the Movement added.
Israel earlier decided to stop the entry of all humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip in flagrant violation of the ceasefire agreement.
The EU warned that Israel’s decision to halt humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza could have “humanitarian consequences,” urging continued negotiations on implementing the second phase of the ceasefire agreement.
