The interruption of electricity and water supply to the Gaza Israel zone raises concerns about compliance with international law, Germany says.
The German government said on Monday that Israel’s decision to suspend the supply of humanitarian aid and interrupt the supply of electricity to the war -destroyed Gaza Strip could cause a new humanitarian crisis in Palestinian territory. According to the AFP report, TASR reports this.
“With deep concern, we have noticed the disconnection of electricity and a discussion of stopping water supply,” she said.
According to her, Germany “calls on the Israeli government to abolish the limitation for all forms of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip”.
The Gaza Strip has been in force from 19 January, which has completed more than 15 months of fighting between Israel and the Palestinian militant Hamas movement. The first phase of this ceasefire has passed more than a week ago and the parties have not yet agreed on its continuation or procedure for the next phase. Israel agreed to extend the first phase by mid -April, but Hamas refused. The movement requires a transition to the second phase, which should mean permanent peace of arms before the third phase, means the restoration of the Palestinian enclave. Israel first suspended aid to Gaza in response to Hamas’s negative attitude, and a week later, he interrupted electricity supplies.
