Hamas warned on Monday of a "catastrophic" worsening of the famine in the Gaza Strip as Israel continues its blockade by closing the crossings and preventing the entry of food and medicine. It also called for the entry of aid "under UN supervision."
The movement said in a statement that "the occupation's continued prevention of aid entry confirms its deliberate intent to create famine and a worsening humanitarian disaster in the Gaza Strip."
It stressed that "the famine in Gaza is intensifying catastrophically amid the ongoing blockade and the prevention of food and medicine from entering."
It called for the immediate opening of the crossings to allow the flow of aid "under UN supervision and without interference from the Israeli authorities."
She stressed that "the only entities authorized to manage and distribute aid are the relevant UN and governmental institutions, not the occupation or its agents."
