The occupiers are intensifying the hunger policy against our people, especially in the north of the Gaza Strip, which has entered a real famine due to the absence of any basic materials and goods.
This Gaza government official emphasized: These crimes of the occupying army prove the falseness of all claims about efforts to reduce the suffering of Palestinians in northern Gaza and emphasize that the policy of hunger is the main plot of the occupying regime against the Palestinian people. What makes the occupiers more brazen to continue these crimes is the submission of the international community and not taking any serious action to end the suffering and pain of the Palestinian nation through a cease-fire and providing sufficient aid to Gaza.
