Rafah (Gaza), January 13 (EFE). – The Hamas government in the Gaza Strip claimed this Saturday that at least 1,300 food trucks are needed daily to meet the food needs of the northern strip, which risks suffering “a real famine.” “
“We once again sound the alarm about the determination of the Israeli occupation army to deliberately and deliberately cause a real famine in the northern governorates of the Gaza Strip, including Gaza City,” denounced the Hamas government.
Hamas claims that 600 trucks per day are needed in the enclave's northernmost provinces, while around 700 trucks are needed in the Gaza City area to avoid “real famine.”
“The hunger and thirst policy results in approximately 800,000 of our population in the Gaza Strip and northern governorates being threatened with death, confirming the occupying government's conscious intention to wage a genocidal war and force citizens from their homes under threat of murder “, bombings, hunger and thirst,” said the government press office of the Hamas-controlled enclave.
The group also accused Israel of killing 14 Gazans as they searched for food, as well as attacking drinking water pipes and wells and trucks carrying supplies, to which they also blocked access.
The United Nations raised Gaza's famine level to maximum levels in December and the World Food Program estimates that more than 557,000 people in Gaza, a quarter of the population, are already suffering from severe hunger.
“We hold the international community and the United States fully responsible for the catastrophic consequences and deaths due to hunger and thirst. “This is the policy that the occupation has continued since the beginning of the genocidal war,” the Gaza Strip government said.
Gaza's Health Ministry, also controlled by Hamas, today increased the death toll in the enclave to over 23,800 dead and 60,300 wounded after nearly a hundred days of war, in addition to an estimated more than 7,000 bodies trapped under the rubble . EFE
