The Palestinian government and the government operations room for emergency interventions in the southern governorates confirmed that the report from the United Nations famine review committee indicates that the Gaza governorate has entered a state of complete famine, reflecting the scale of the humanitarian disaster that our people in the sector are experiencing.
This statement came as a confirmation of what Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa announced in a previous press conference, where he indicated that the ongoing Israeli blockade is the main reason for Gaza entering a state of famine, due to the prevention of food, medicine, and humanitarian aid from entering.
Gaza, especially children and the elderly, is facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis as a result of the starvation policy pursued by the occupation forces, where starvation has been used as a weapon of war to exterminate civilians and deprive them of basic life necessities.
The government warned of the rapid spread of hunger and malnutrition in all governorates of the sector, and called on the international community and the free people of the world to take urgent action to stop the policy of starvation and genocide.
The government demanded that the United Nations Security Council, unions, parliaments, and civil society organizations exert pressure on their governments to stop supporting the occupation and impose punitive measures against it.
The government emphasized the necessity of a unified stance and collective movements to save what remains of life in the Gaza Strip, and to raise the voice high to stop the genocide and starvation war against the Palestinian people.
What our people are facing today is a direct result of a systematic policy followed by the occupation forces.
