The Palestinian people have the right to resist the Israeli occupation through any means possible, Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said during an urgent Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) meeting convened to discuss the situation in Gaza.

Berri emphasized "the right of the Palestinian people to resist through any means possible to ensure their right to return and establish a Palestinian state whose capital is al-Quds."

Berri recommended during the urgent meeting that the member states of the OIC nullify any agreements they have with the Israeli occupation.

The Lebanese Parliament speaker praised the Palestinian Resistance fighters who are showing paramount restraint when it comes to unleashing hell upon the Israeli occupation in the West Bank and Al-Quds, "from whose labor the fruits of liberation will emerge."

"Defending Palestine and Gaza is not the responsibility of one faction, not the responsibility of Palestinians alone. It is the responsibility of the Islamic World as a whole," he stressed.

Berri finally underlined the need to prevent the displacement of Palestinians in Gaza, stressing that it would undermine Arab national security and serve the bid to divide the region.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has confirmed that their centers in southern Gaza have received approximately 400,000 displaced people, with the agency estimating that there are over one million displaced people in total.

UNRWA emphasized that the level of destruction in the Gaza Strip is unparalleled and that the needs of the displaced population surpass their capacities. Additionally, the agency warned of the severe health risks faced by the people of Gaza, who are forced to consume contaminated water.

It also stated that the power stations ceased to function, leaving people in the darkness since the beginning of the ongoing aggression. These statements from UNRWA coincide with the ongoing bombing campaign that has been continuous for ten days.

Meanwhile, the aerial aggression is accompanied by a stifling blockade depriving the people of Gaza of the most basic needs, such as water, fuel, and medicine.

As a result of the continued unprecedented Israeli aggression, "most residents in the Gaza Strip no longer have access to drinking water from service providers or domestic water through pipelines," OCHA said. "UNICEF reports some have already begun drinking seawater" in response to the lack of clean water, it added.

The agency also stressed that "health facilities are overwhelmed, medical stocks are in short supply and access to hospitals and medical care is being hindered by the ongoing hostilities and damaged roads." Furthermore, nearly 50,000 women in Gaza who are expected to give birth in the coming month are "struggling to access essential health services as healthcare workers, hospitals and clinics come under attack."

Palestinian Health Ministry Spokesperson Ashraf al-Qidra told Al Mayadeen on Thursday that Gaza was only a few hours away from essential services completely shutting down, and the health sector is collapsing.

However, the Israeli occupation reported on Sunday that water pipes in southern Gaza were turned back on. 

Israeli Energy Minister Israel Katz said Sunday that the decision to renew water supplies to parts of southern Gaza was agreed on between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden, highlighting the latter's complicity in the oppression of the people of Gaza.

The decision to partially renew water supplies was in line with the Israeli policy, he underlined, which he went on to explain was tightening the blockade on Gaza.

The Israeli occupation is trying to drive the Palestinian people from northern Gaza into its South in a bid to empty the Strip's north in preparation for a ground invasion that would take the lives of thousands of people were it to take place.
