Hamas Urges Global Action Against Gaza Starvation Policy Targeting 2 Million Residents

The Hamas Movement has criticized the international community and its institutions, holding them accountable for not fulfilling their humanitarian and legal obligations in response to the food crisis and alleged systematic starvation policies enforced by Israel on the Gaza Strip’s population.

Hamas issued a statement on Tuesday evening, asserting that the “Zionist occupation” is perpetuating a deliberate starvation strategy affecting over two million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The statement claims that this is part of an intensified campaign of aggression since March 2, which includes the closure of crossings and the obstruction of essential resources such as water, food, and medical supplies.

The statement highlighted that the total closure of Gaza’s crossings is a grave violation of international law occurring openly, with the world witnessing in silent complicity.

Hamas has accused its adversaries of using starvation as a weapon in the ongoing conflict, targeting the lives, dignity, and resilience of Palestinians. The group highlighted the dire situation, noting that bakeries in the Gaza Strip have ceased operations due to a depletion of flour supplies.

Reports indicate that the Gaza Strip is now facing a severe famine, marking one of the most dire humanitarian crises in contemporary history. This situation has been described as a grave escalation in the alleged atrocities attributed to occupying forces, occurring without intervention or accountability.

Hamas has asserted that the lack of response from the international community effectively enables the ongoing actions of the occupying forces, including policies of killing, starvation, and siege. The group holds the occupation fully accountable for accusations of genocide and its devastating humanitarian impact.

Hamas has urged Arab and Islamic nations to step up and take swift action to avert a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where the threat of famine and destruction looms large.

The Movement has urged citizens around the world to swiftly intervene in order to end the unfair blockade affecting over two million individuals. It has called for the immediate opening of border crossings to facilitate the delivery of essential resources, such as water, food, and medical supplies.
