The government media office in Gaza reported on Wednesday that a substantial amount of aid, intended for the beleaguered residents, has remained stranded for weeks on the opposite side of the Rafah border crossing.

Sent from numerous countries to support the people of Gaza amid the relentless Israeli aggression, these aid supplies now face spoilage and expiration due to delays.

The statement emphasized the critical situation of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, declaring it untenable as the population grapples with severe shortages of essential resources, including food, water, and medicine. The delay in aid delivery is further adding up to the crisis.

As the crisis deepens, reports from northern Gaza indicate an alarming emergence of famine conditions, particularly affecting thousands of children. The government media office underscored the pressing need for 1,000 trucks daily to transport essential supplies and genuine aid, ranging from infant formula to medical equipment and civil defense vehicles.

Highlighting Gaza's urgent fuel needs, the government said that one million liters are required daily. This fuel is crucial for sustaining vital facilities, including hospitals, bakeries, water wells, and drinking stations, all of which have been severely impacted by the Israeli aggression.

The government renewed its calls to the international community, the US, and various international organizations, to refrain from aligning with policies that effectively contribute to the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

Renewed calls from the World Health Organization urged continuous and unhindered entry of medical and relief supplies into Gaza, coupled with ongoing financial and medical assistance for Palestinians in both Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
