The government office in Gaza denies the entry of aid into the Strip for the third day.

The government media office in the Gaza Strip denied on Wednesday that trucks carrying humanitarian and relief aid had entered the Gaza Strip for the third consecutive day.

The occupation claims it has resumed the entry of aid into the Gaza Strip, after the Israeli cabinet approved it two days ago.

In a statement, the government office considered this a blatant violation and a continuation of the systematic siege and starvation policy being practiced against more than 2.4 million Palestinian civilians living under catastrophic humanitarian conditions.

He said, "The occupation has halted the entry of aid—which it claimed it would allow in last Monday—without any legal or humanitarian justification, at a time when the Gaza Strip is experiencing deteriorating health and living conditions and a severe shortage of food, medicine, and fuel, which portends a worsening humanitarian disaster that threatens the lives of the population."

He added, "This behavior confirms the occupation's deliberate use of food and medicine as a weapon of war against civilians. It has closed all crossings for 80 days, in flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and all humanitarian norms and conventions. This holds it fully responsible for the repercussions of this aggressive policy."

The government office called on the international community, the United Nations, and humanitarian and human rights organizations to take urgent action and pressure the occupation to open the crossings, ensure the flow of aid without delay or hindrance, and work diligently to end the unjust blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip for more than 18 years.
