Doha: The Government Media Office in Gaza has highlighted the ongoing Israeli blockade, which entered its 133rd consecutive day, amid growing warnings of an imminent humanitarian disaster threatening the lives of hundreds of thousands in the Gaza Strip.
According to Qatar News Agency, the office estimated that over 650,000 children are at direct risk due to worsening living conditions. It affirmed that the Israeli occupation continues to completely block the entry of food, medicine, and fuel for over three months, exacerbating famine risk and increasing death rates due to hunger and lack of medical supplements.
The statement revealed that the blockade extends to vital items such as flour, infant formula, and medical supplies, describing it as part of a systematic starvation policy. Currently, around 1.25 million people are living under catastrophic hunger levels, with 96 percent of Gaza's population experiencing food insecurity.
The office strongly condemned these organized crimes, holding the Israeli occupation fully responsible for acts of genocide and systematic starvation. It also laid moral and legal responsibility on associated states, as well as those complicit through silence and international partners who deliberately obstruct efforts to halt the genocide.
The statement urged the international community, Arab and Islamic countries, and all free voices around the world to act immediately to break the blockade, deliver urgent food, medical, and humanitarian aid, and save the Palestinian people in Gaza from starvation.
