100 days since ‘israel’ blocked all forms of aid from entering Gaza
It has now been one hundred days since Israel took control of and closed Gaza's crucial Rafah crossing.
According to Gaza’s media office, Israeli forces set fires, used bulldozers, and disabled the crossing before initiating a comprehensive ground assault on Rafah in the south during May.
According to a statement released by the Gaza government’s media office on Wednesday, the 100-day continuous closure of the crossing has resulted in the deaths of over 1000 children, patients, and injured Palestinians.
According to the report, the military has obstructed the delivery of medical supplies and health delegations, and has also banned the entry of medications and treatments, worsening the already critical health and humanitarian crisis.
The media office stated that this action unmistakably shows the regime’s plan to “incapacitate hospitals” and underscores “its employment of starvation as a means of political coercion, exacerbating famine” throughout the Palestinian region.
“This act blatantly breaches international law, humanitarian principles, and various international accords,” stated the media office, calling on the global community to hold Israel and the United States entirely accountable for the severe repercussions stemming from the closure of the Rafah crossing.
The United Nations, alongside aid workers and medical professionals, cautioned that keeping the crossing closed for an extended period would put some of Gaza’s most vulnerable populations at grave risk. This includes children with severe burns, cancer patients and individuals requiring heart surgery.
In July, the World Health Organization reported that over 10,000 individuals require urgent medical care beyond the coastal enclave.
