Hamas Issues Dire Warning as Gaza Faces Imminent Famine Crisis

The Hamas Movement has stated that the World Food Program’s declaration regarding the depletion of its food reserves in the Gaza Strip underscores the severe escalation of the humanitarian crisis caused by what it describes as the fascist Israeli occupation. This situation indicates that the residents of Gaza are now experiencing a genuine famine.

In a press statement issued on Saturday, Hamas raised alarms over the severe humanitarian impact of the comprehensive blockade implemented by the occupying forces on the Gaza Strip. The group highlighted the crucial denial of vital supplies, including food, water, medicine, and fuel, warning that the ongoing restrictions pose a dire threat to the lives of over 2.25 million residents enduring relentless bombardment and alleged acts of genocide.

Hamas has accused Netanyahu’s government of employing starvation as a weapon, labeling the actions as severe breaches of international law and humanitarian standards. The group claims that the deliberate targeting of water stations and food distribution centers exemplifies egregious violations, urging the international community to issue a definitive condemnation and take effective measures to ensure accountability for those responsible for such alleged crimes against humanity.

Hamas has issued an urgent appeal to the global community, urging all relevant institutions and entities to take immediate action to halt the atrocity of widespread starvation in Gaza. The group is calling for an end to the comprehensive blockade that has been in place for nearly two months and is advocating for the prompt facilitation of food and medical aid into the region.

The call has been made to Arab and Islamic nations, encompassing governments, citizens, political groups, unions, and organizations, to assume their historical responsibilities. The appeal implores them to break their silence and take decisive action to lift the unjust blockade, ensuring the delivery of essential life-sustaining resources to bolster the resilience of affected communities against aggression and plans of forced displacement.
