In light of this tragedy, we in the resistance factions affirm the following: 1. We strongly condemn the continued deprivation of our people of basic necessities of life, and the exposure of families and displaced persons to the harshness of winter in worn-out tents and shelter centers that lack the most basic conditions of protection and human dignity. 2. The continued closure of the crossings and obstruction of the entry of humanitarian and relief aid, including tents, tarpaulins, shelter materials, blankets, fuel, and medicines, deepens the catastrophe and places civilians' lives before increasing risks. 3. We hold the occupation responsible for the consequences of the siege, closure, and restrictions imposed on the entry of aid, and its failure to implement the provisions of the ceasefire agreement and its humanitarian protocol. We affirm that humanitarian needs must not be subject to political calculations or turned into a means of punishing an entire people. 4. We express our dismay at the international silence and humanitarian inability in the face of scenes of drowning, cold, and displacement, and we ask about the role of international institutions that are supposed to be at the forefront of defending human life and dignity. 5. We appeal to the United Nations, humanitarian and relief institutions, the International Committee of the Red Cross, Arab and Islamic countries, and all concerned parties, to move urgently and apply effective pressure to open the crossings and bring in aid without restrictions or delay. 6. We demand the provision of urgent and comprehensive relief intervention, including the establishment of safe shelter centers, and the provision of tents, tarpaulins, mattresses, blankets, heating means, drainage of rainwater, and securing health and food needs for the displaced and affected families. 7. We affirm that our Palestinian people are not a people outside the human system, and they have the right to live in security and dignity, and to obtain their basic needs without humiliation, extortion, or waiting for new appeals with every disaster. ▪What our people are experiencing today is not merely the consequences of a weather depression, but a humanitarian tragedy in which the effects of destruction overlap with the siege, closure, and the absence of sufficient relief. It is no longer acceptable for the world to remain a spectator to a people facing death, cold, and displacement, while the most basic duties of protection and relief are disrupted. Urgent intervention is no longer a postponed option, but a humanitarian and moral responsibility that cannot wait.
