Gaza: The United Nations renewed its warning on Wednesday about the deteriorating humanitarian conditions necessary for the survival of Palestinians, stressing that the Gaza Strip is experiencing a shortage of livelihood opportunities and limited shelter due to attacks launched by the Israeli occupation army.
According to National Iraqi News Agency, the UN stated that it had monitored a number of Israeli violations against civilians in the Gaza Strip since last Sunday. The statement noted the return of many families who had fled five school buildings, which were housing displaced families in the northern Gaza Strip, due to the lack of alternative livelihood opportunities and limited shelter in other areas. These buildings were bombed over the past 48 hours, resulting in deaths and injuries.
The UN highlighted that the occupation army repeatedly issues immediate evacuation warnings throughout Gaza moments before the bombing, forcing citizens to leave their homes in preparation for their bombardment. In most cases, the bombing begins before people have even left. According to United Nations, less than 18% of the Gaza Strip remains for civilian use.
The Palestinian presidency, through its official spokesman, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, warned today of the danger of the Israeli occupation government’s attempts to thwart efforts to achieve a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and halt its attacks in the West Bank. The Palestinian presidency called on the US administration to compel the occupation to respond to efforts aimed at achieving a comprehensive cessation of aggression that includes all Palestinian territory in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including Al-Quds.
It stressed that the statements issued by the US administration on the necessity of stopping the war in the Gaza Strip must be accompanied by a firm and strong position to halt the aggression against cities, villages, and camps in the West Bank and to adhere to international legitimacy resolutions, as this is the only way to achieve security and stability in the region.
