He added: “It has been 24 days since the occupation army occupied the Rafah land crossing and closed the Kerem Shalom crossing, which led to complex humanitarian crises that p
revented 22,000 wounded and sick people from traveling to receive treatment outside the Gaza Strip.”
He pointed out that the occupation prevents the entry of humanitarian aid and food supplies into the Gaza Strip, where nearly 2.4 million people live, including more than 2 million displaced people who live primarily and solely on aid, and with a quarter of a million family heads losing their jobs and jobs due to the genocidal war, which is what This left them without cash, which clearly increases the chances of deepening the famine.
