GAZA – The Health Ministry in Gaza says 27 children have died of hunger and starvation, just as Government Media Office reports that Israel committed five massacres against hungry Palestinians waiting for food in 48 hours, killing 56 people in the process.
Health Ministry Spokesman, Ashraf al-Qudra made the revelation in his daily briefing on the situation in Gaza.
He spoke just as the Gaza Government Media Office said the “israeli” occupation has committed 5 massacres against aid distribution centers within 48 hours, resulting in 56 martyrs and more than 300 injured.
“Within 48 hours, and in a flagrant and appalling violation of the sanctity of the blessed month of Ramadan, the “israeli” occupation army committed 5 massacres and crimes against aid distribution centers for civilian citizens and individuals working there, with the martyrdom toll reaching 56 martyrs, in addition to causing injuries to more than 300 individuals during these barbaric crimes” , the office said.
The office said the occupation army committed these massacres by bombing an aid distribution center affiliated with UNRWA in the Rafah governorate, resulting in 5 martyrs.
” Additionally, two civilian citizens working in aid delivery were killed by bombing their vehicle in the Rafah governorate.
“Another aid distribution center in the Al-Nusseirat camp in the central governorate was also bombed, resulting in 8 martyrs.
“On the nights of Tuesday and Wednesday last week, the occupation killed 11 martyrs, and more than 30 civilians last night who were waiting for the arrival of aid at the Kuwait roundabout in the Gaza governorate, 23 of whom reached the hospitals.
“Over 10 martyrs’ bodies were left on the ground, with the occupation preventing anyone from reaching them and firing at anyone who approaches”, he said.
The office said it holds the American administration and the international community, in addition to the “israeli” occupation, fully responsible for the crime of genocide and for the war of starvation and famine that is deepening further in the Gaza Strip.
” We also hold them responsible for the massacres and crimes committed against civilians, children, and women on a daily basis.
“We call upon all countries of the free world to pressure the occupation to stop the genocide and ethnic cleansing it is waging against our Palestinian people, which has so far resulted in more than 110,000 victims, including martyrs, injured, missing, and detained.
“We also demand an immediate halt to the famine before it is too late, and call for the opening of land crossings and the immediate entry of hundreds of thousands of tons of aid piled up at the land crossings to our noble Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip through the land crossings, in conjunction with the blessed month of Ramadan and in response to the famine”, the office said.
