“Despite the limited authorizations recently granted to the entry of some trucks, the (Israelite) occupation deliberately prevents their safety and prevents access from those they need,” writes the government.
“Instead, it forces truckers to take routes full of hungry civilians, who have been waiting for weeks to meet the most basic needs of life, which leads to attacks on these trucks and the pillage of their content,” the statement added.

“Given the unprecedented humanitarian deterioration observed in the Gaza Strip, Israelite occupation continues to commit mass hunger crime against more than 2.4 million people, continuing to close the border passages and prevent the entry of humanitarian aid and basic materials, as part of a systematic policy designed to break the determination of our people and dismantle their social fabric,” the government accused.
