Zo is onze situatie met de eerste depressie in Gaza

Woordvoerder van Hamas, Hazem Qassem: een verklaring die erop wijst dat het zwijgen van de Raad voor de Vrede over de ramp in de Gazastrook neerkomt op medeplichtigheid aan de misdaad en dekking biedt voor het voortduren van de genocide, de belegering en de uithongering.

Woordvoerder van Hamas, Hazem Qassem: ▪ Een verklaring die erop wijst dat het zwijgen van de Raad voor de Vrede over de ramp in de Gazastrook neerkomt op medeplichtigheid aan de misdaad en dekking biedt voor het voortduren van de genocide, de belegering en de uithongering. ▪ Hij riep de Arabische en islamitische landen die deelnemen aan de Raad voor de Vrede op om geen dekking te bieden voor het beleid van de bezetting in de Gazastrook, en om een standvastig en duidelijk standpunt in te nemen.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates: We call on the international community, the United Nations, its specialized agencies, and international humanitarian and relief organizations to move immediately and in a coordinated manner to save citizens in the Gaza Strip from a humanitarian disaster with the arrival of winter, amid their difficult conditions caused by the Israeli war of extermination.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates: ▪We call on the international community, the United Nations, its specialized agencies, and international humanitarian and relief organizations to move immediately and in a coordinated manner to save citizens in the Gaza Strip from a humanitarian disaster with the arrival of winter, amid their difficult conditions caused by the Israeli war of extermination. ▪We affirm that the continuation of the genocide and the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip has deepened the humanitarian disaster and prevented work on the early recovery of the Palestinian people there, after the first rains that fell during the past few hours revealed the масштаb of the disaster faced by those forcibly displaced in the Gaza Strip. ▪Nearly two million citizens are facing harsh humanitarian conditions, spread across about 270,000 tents and shelters in various governorates of the Strip, while estimates indicate that between 60% and 85% of the tents have become worn out and unusable after about three years of ongoing genocide and forced displacement. ▪More than 400,000 displaced people are living in highly dangerous areas exposed to flooding, the accumulation of rainwater, or located along the seashore. ▪We stress the need to confront the worsening humanitarian and environmental disaster with the onset of winter before it turns into a wider catastrophe that claims more lives, especially among children, the elderly, and the sick. ▪The risks are escalating due to the widespread destruction of infrastructure, especially sewage networks and rainwater drainage systems. ▪Children, the elderly, and the sick lack winter clothing, blankets, mattresses, and safe heating means amid power outages and fuel shortages, which makes exposure to cold and rain a direct threat to their lives. ▪We affirm that what is required is no longer limited to issuing humanitarian appeals, but rather an immediate move to implement Security Council resolutions, including resolution 2720 and resolution 2803, and to carry out practical and tangible measures to confront the crimes of the Israeli occupation. ▪We demand immediate pressure on "Israel", the occupying power, to open all crossings and ensure the flow of humanitarian aid without restrictions or obstruction and in quantities commensurate with the immense needs of our people, and to ensure its delivery to all areas of the Strip. ▪We call for the urgent entry of fuel and the necessary equipment to operate water and sewage pumps, remove تجمعات rainwater and wastewater, and carry out emergency interventions to protect camps and displacement sites from flooding. ▪We stress the need to immediately secure winter shelter needs by bringing in temporary housing, rain- and wind-resistant tents, plastic sheeting, waterproof and thermal insulation, and materials and equipment to repair damaged and at-risk housing, and to deliver winter clothing, blankets, mattresses, and safe heating means to those affected, especially children, infants, the elderly, and the sick, to prevent deaths due to severe cold. ▪We call for the launch of an urgent health and preventive response that includes providing medicines, medical supplies, clean water, and disinfectants; strengthening health care services; combating diseases and epidemics linked to water pollution and deteriorating environmental conditions; and mobilizing and bringing in the logistical and technical equipment needed to support municipalities, competent authorities, and civil defense and relief teams, enabling them to carry out urgent interventions to protect civilians and displacement sites. ▪We stress that the international community, both states and institutions, has the tools and capabilities needed to respond and to pressure "Israel" to activate them without delay, to ensure the arrival of aid and humanitarian materials and not to allow the continued deprivation of our people of the most basic necessities of life and protection.
