Arab League Warns of Gaza Humanitarian Catastrophe, Urges Global Accountability
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Nabil Fahmy, Secretary-General of the Arab League, has urged domestic and international humanitarian organizations to act swiftly and in coordination to offer all necessary support to the victims in the Gaza Strip, emphasizing the urgent need for humanitarian assistance.
Fahmy announced the Arab League’s initiative to establish a humanitarian relief network for emergency situations, inviting all humanitarian actors to join this plan. He explained that this initiative is part of efforts to respond rapidly to humanitarian crises in the Arab region, coordinated with member states and active relief organizations.
The Secretary-General of the Arab League stressed that Gaza continues to face hunger, siege, destruction, and severe shortages of medicine, water, and food. He attributed the disruption of all aspects of human life in the region to the policies of the Israeli regime against more than two million Palestinians since the start of the war in October 2023.
He added that with the arrival of winter, the suffering of thousands of displaced persons has intensified due to rainfall and flooding, causing further damage to the already war-affected remaining infrastructure.
According to Fahmy’s statements, the rains and floods have inundated or destroyed 40,000 shelters and 70,000 tents, affecting hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, including the injured, children, women, the elderly, and the sick. He clarified that thousands of Palestinian families are now homeless and exposed to the elements, lacking access to heating, adequate clothing, and blankets.
The Secretary-General of the Arab League concluded by emphasizing that the League will immediately coordinate with all parties responding to this humanitarian appeal to support and provide aid to the Palestinian people.
