Hamas Denounces Ongoing Humanitarian Catastrophe in Gaza Amidst Ceasefire
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas announced in a statement that the humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip is persisting due to genocidal warfare and the widespread destruction of infrastructure and living facilities. With the arrival of winter, the suffering and hardships of the residents and displaced people in the region have intensified.
Hamas emphasized in its statement that the occupying regime is systematically managing and fueling the humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip. Within the framework of the ongoing genocidal war, it is seeking to deepen and prolong the crisis, an action that, according to the movement, is aimed at breaking the will of the Palestinian people and destroying the means of life in the region, even while a ceasefire agreement is in place.
The movement described the actions of the occupying regime as a complete war crime, stating: “These actions are accompanied by a clear violation of the regulations of international humanitarian law, the systematic targeting of the basic needs of civilians, the intensification of the blockade, and the prevention of aid operations.” This is occurring at a time when the humanitarian situation in Gaza is catastrophic, and aerial attacks and incursions against civilians continue.
Hamas urged the international community to act immediately to end this humanitarian catastrophe, which threatens the lives of hundreds of thousands, and to employ all tools of pressure and accountability.
The movement also called for compelling the occupying regime to lift the blockade of the Gaza Strip, guarantee the continuous entry of aid and humanitarian shipments, and hold its leaders accountable as war criminals.
In another part of the statement, Hamas called on Arab and Islamic nations and free people worldwide to expand popular movements in streets and squares, and to continue pressure to end the blockade and stop the genocide in the Gaza Strip.
The movement also expressed its appreciation for the extensive participation of hundreds of thousands of Dutch citizens in the large demonstration in Amsterdam in support of the people of Gaza, emphasizing the necessity of continuing such programs until the attacks cease and the occupation ends.
