BREAKING
Gaza Border and Crossings Authority: 51 citizens traveled through the Karam Abu Salem crossing today, including 23 patients and 28 accompanying personsOccupation vehicles open heavy fire in the central and southern areas of Khan Younis city, southern Gaza StripArab Parliament: We call on the international community, the United Nations, its relevant institutions, Arab, Islamic and international humanitarian and relief organizations, and the global human conscience to move immediately and urgently to save the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip from the danger of death from cold and drowning inside dilapidated displacement tents amid heavy rain, storms and bitter cold, and the lack of the most basic requirements of safe shelter and humanitarian protection. Arab Parliament: ▪We call on the international community, the United Nations, its relevant institutions, Arab, Islamic and international humanitarian and relief organizations, and the global human conscience to move immediately and urgently to save the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip from the danger of death from cold and drowning inside dilapidated displacement tents amid heavy rain, storms and bitter cold, and the lack of the most basic requirements of safe shelter and humanitarian protection. ▪We warn of the worsening of the humanitarian catastrophe as hundreds of thousands of displaced people continue to be exposed to harsh living conditions that threaten their lives and safety. ▪We stress that scenes of displacement tents being flooded by rainwater and some collapsing over the heads of their inhabitants, and the suffering of children, women and the elderly from the bitter cold, embody a horrific humanitarian tragedy that calls for immediate international action and represents a stain on the face of the international community, which should not remain content with issuing statements of concern and condemnation while an entire people is left facing the danger of death under rain and in the open after their homes were destroyed and they lost the most basic necessities of a dignified life and human security. ▪We affirm that what the displaced in the Gaza Strip face is not merely a disaster resulting from bad weather conditions, but a humanitarian tragedy compounded by the widespread destruction caused by the aggression of the Israeli occupation entity and the deprivation of the Palestinian people of the most basic necessities of life, safe shelter and humanitarian protection. ▪Protecting civilians and providing for their basic needs is a legal obligation imposed by the rules of international humanitarian law, foremost among them the Fourth Geneva Convention, and a humanitarian and moral responsibility that cannot tolerate delay. The continued exposure of thousands of Palestinian families, especially children, women and the elderly, to the danger of death from cold and drowning represents a real test of the conscience of humanity and the credibility of the international community. ▪We demand that the United Nations, the UN Security Council and humanitarian and relief organizations take immediate and effective international action to provide temporary housing, tents resistant to rain and storms, shelter and heating supplies, blankets and medicines, and to bring in humanitarian aid without restrictions or obstacles, and to take urgent measures to protect the displaced from the dangers of rain and floods, while obliging the Israeli occupation authorities to respect their obligations under international humanitarian law and ensure the delivery of aid to those entitled to it. ▪We affirm that Gaza does not need more statements of solidarity and sympathy, but rather urgent international action that saves lives, preserves human dignity, and ends the state of international silence and helplessness.
