UNRWA: Israel did not allow the entry of aid despite the declaration of famine in Gaza.

The media advisor for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Adnan Abu Hasna, stated that the occupation has not allowed any aid to enter the Gaza Strip since the United Nations officially declared the area a famine zone. This statement comes at a time when the residents of Gaza are suffering from harsh humanitarian conditions.

Abu Hasna added in an interview that the occupying government has not reacted to the famine declaration, the first of its kind in the Middle East, nor to the accompanying international movement. He emphasized the need to continue this international movement to address the deteriorating conditions in the sector.

He pointed out the possibility of legal action before the International Court of Justice, which had previously obligated the occupation to prevent Gaza from reaching a state of famine. He explained that the failure to respect these orders has led to the humanitarian disaster that the sector is experiencing.

Abu Hasna considered that the occupation's disregard for international decisions and its denial of famine signifies the collapse of all human values, warning that the world may fall into new barbarism if the occupation continues its policies.

He also noted that Gaza will be a model for what could happen in other areas if the occupation is not held accountable for its actions. He confirmed that the continued starvation and killing of journalists will lead to more violence and death in the sector.

In a related context, the Palestinian Ministry of Health documented the death of 11 Palestinians, including two children, within 24 hours due to malnutrition, raising the number of martyrs due to famine to 300, including 117 children.

On the other hand, Israeli Channel 14 reported Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich's pledge to prevent food, water, and fuel from entering the Gaza Strip, exacerbating the suffering of the residents.

In contrast, Irish President Michael Higgins called for the formation of a UN force to ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid to the sector, emphasizing the need to activate Chapter Seven of the UN Charter for intervention in Gaza.
