Gaza Needs More Than 500,000 Bags of Flour Per Week, End Israeli Blockade: Media Office
Gaza (Quds News Network)- Gaza’s Government Media Office said the enclave is “in dire need of no less than 500,000 bags of flour per week to avoid a comprehensive humanitarian collapse”, calling to end Israel’s ongoing suffocating blockade.
In a statement, the Office added that Gaza’s hospitals have recorded more than 115 deaths related to “famine and malnutrition” amid a near-total Israeli blockade.
It warned against spreading “false narratives” about the entry of hundreds of aid trucks into Gaza.
“We categorically deny these claims, as they are completely untrue and represent a dangerous alignment with the misleading narrative of the ‘Israeli’ occupation, and a deliberate distortion of the truth of the ongoing crime,” it added.
Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO) has reportedly dispatched four land aid convoys to the Gaza Strip. However, such reports were denied by Gaza residents and authorities.
“We call on all countries of the world, without exception, to immediately break the siege, permanently open the crossings, and allow the entry of baby milk and aid to more than 2.4 million people besieged in the Gaza Strip.”
Under Israeli military protection, settlers demolished a Palestinian school and nearby homes in the northern Jordan Valley, intensifying displacement pressure on Bedouin communities in the occupied West Bank.
Two Palestinians, including a 14-year-old boy, were shot and killed by Israeli settlers on Tuesday in the village of Al-Mughayyir in the occupied West Bank. A total of three Palestinians have been killed so far today by Israeli settlers across the occupied territories, including two children, amid a spike in settler violence against Palestinians.
Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot has urged the EU to impose sanctions on Israel ahead of a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Luxembourg, joining seven EU countries, including France and Sweden, in the call. He also slammed the Israeli assault on Lebanon as “totally unacceptable.”
