The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned in a statement the deaths of at least 15 minors due to lack of food.
The Foreign Ministry also criticized the Israeli military for hindering the arrival of humanitarian aid in the coastal enclave, particularly in the northernmost area.
As part of this strategy, the armed forces targeted trucks loaded with essential products, he stressed.
He also warned that the neighboring country's army was “gradually expanding the war of annihilation to the (southern city of) Rafah and the surrounding region.”
The soldiers began focusing their bombings and military operations on Rafah, where more than a million people are seeking refuge, he said.
The ministry condemned the systematic Israeli attacks on Gaza, noting that they were turning the area into a dry and uninhabitable land.
“The aim is to destroy our people, either by killing them, starving and thirsting them, depriving them of medicine or treatment, or by bombing and destroying their homes,” he questioned.
