EU Urges Increased Aid to Gaza Amidst Flood Threat to Palestinian Refugee Tents

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, European Union Commissioner Haja Lahbib has urged for greater humanitarian aid to enter the Gaza Strip. She also issued a warning regarding the inundation of thousands of tents belonging to Palestinian refugees, caused by flash floods and intense rainfall.

Lahbib stated that this situation is further intensifying the suffering and hardships of Gaza’s residents, who are already grappling with a dire humanitarian crisis.

In response, the Follow-up Committee for Palestinian National and Islamic Forces has called for the Gaza Strip to be declared a disaster area afflicted by a humanitarian crisis.

The committee also demands accountability from the Israeli side for obstructing the implementation of a ceasefire agreement, the ongoing blockade of Gaza, and acts of genocide.

Furthermore, the Follow-up Committee for Palestinian National and Islamic Forces has appealed to people worldwide to increase solidarity demonstrations and gatherings with the people of Gaza on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

The committee emphasized that public and international pressure must continue with the aim of halting the war, ending the blockade, and creating conditions for the Palestinian people to exercise their right to self-determination.

On a separate note, officials announced on Tuesday that over 91,000 tents and several trucks carrying winter supplies and equipment have entered the Gaza Strip.
