In an official statement, the ministry highlighted that 2.4 million residents rely entirely on humanitarian aid for survival. Families have been unable to store essential supplies due to severe restrictions and the ban on private sector operations.
The suspension of aid has led to the closure of bakeries, as flour and fuel supplies have completely stopped. Cooking gas has also not reached households due to the Israeli blockade, worsening the humanitarian crisis.
The ministry warned that the lack of tents, mobile homes and shelter materials left many families homeless after Israel destroyed over 80% of Gaza's buildings.
The Ministry called on the international community to intervene and end this crisis, stressing that blocking humanitarian aid violates international laws and agreements.
Today the crisis entered its third consecutive day after Israel cut off all humanitarian aid to Gaza, aiming to pressure Hamas into accepting a different agreement than the one that they already signed—one that does not guarantee Israel’s withdrawal from the territory.
