The Palestinian Government Media Office in Gaza has announced that medical evacuations have been blocked, noting that 25,000 injured Palestinians have been denied travel for critical medical treatment after the Rafah crossing was burned down and taken over by Israeli occupation forces.
Similarly, since the occupation of the Rafah border crossing, humanitarian aid has been halted with 15,000 trucks carrying essential supplies stranded at the Egyptian side of the border crossing as their entry continues to be blocked by Israeli occupation forces. This blockade is significantly worsening the famine in the Gaza Strip, which has reached critical levels in Gaza City and the northern portion of the Strip.
The director of the Government Media Office in Gaza further highlighted in a press conference that the situation is particularly dire in the northern regions, where the floating pier, purportedly established to aid the situation, has failed to mitigate the worsening famine. In fact, added the director, the pier was used during the Nuseirat massacre, resulting in hundreds of deaths and injuries.
This Israeli-imposed famine threatens to increase the death toll, with the Government Media Office warning that the specter of famine looms larger by the day.
In conclusion, the Director of the Government Media Office in Gaza reaffirmed that the famine is worsening dangerously in the Gaza Strip highlighting that the burning and bulldozing of the Rafah crossing must serve as evidence of the Israeli occupation's genocidal intent.
Additionally, the director criticized the floating water US pier as a "lie", "mirage", and a "conspiracy that exposed American intentions," rendering complicit in the ongoing genocide.
The office held the Israeli occupation and the US administration fully responsible for the continuation of the crime of genocide and the continuation of human rights violations in the Gaza Strip, stressing the need to stop supplying lethal weapons to the occupation used in the killing of kill civilians, children, and women.
UN deplores Israeli ‘lawless behavior' amid ongoing genocide in Gaza
As the Israeli aggression on Gaza continues, the UN human rights office has condemned "Israel's" "lawless behavior" in the Strip and the occupied West Bank.
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) announced the denunciation in a statement on Sunday, criticizing the recent Israeli strikes on the al-Shati refugee camp in northern Gaza, killing at least 50 Palestinians.
These "attacks appear to be disproportionate in that they would be expected to cause incidental loss of civilian life, injury to civilians, and damage to civilian objects excessive in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated," according to the bureau.
