Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) – Monitoring: In a statement, the Palestinian Presidency on Friday called for a meeting of Arab foreign ministers after the Israeli army killed nearly 100 Palestinians in northern Gaza in just 24 hours.
The statement, cited by the official Wafa news agency, warned against what it called starvation warfare against Palestinians in Northern Gaza.
The statement called on the Arab League “to hold an emergency meeting at the level of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs given the ongoing Israeli genocidal aggression, forced displacement, and starvation of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.”
It cited Israel’s policy of separating the north from the rest of the Strip as it deploys “starvation as a method of warfare against Palestinians to displace them from their lands and houses.”
It also called on the international community to intervene urgently and end Israeli onslaught on Gaza.
Palestinians are facing diminishing conditions for survival in northern Gaza under siege by Israeli forces.
The regime has prevented virtually any aid from delivering to the area.
The chief of the World Health Organization says 90 percent of people in the coastal enclave are now living in tents, leaving them “vulnerable to respiratory and other diseases, food insecurity and malnutrition as winter approaches.”
“The ultimate solution to this suffering is not aid but peace,” said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor has raised alarms about the worsening humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, warning that Israel's severe limitations on essential goods are intensifying the suffering of nearly two million displaced Palestinians amid cold weather.
The Geneva-based organization stated on Wednesday, criticizing Israel for restricting the flow of essential goods such as clothing, blankets, and shoes, which the NGO said is aimed at imposing dire living conditions on the Palestinian population that will ultimately lead to their destruction as part of a broader genocidal campaign in the Gaza Strip.
