Hamas: Israel is responsible for the disaster in Gaza, not the winter aid workers.
In a statement, the Islamic resistance movement of Hamas announced that the Israeli military's demand to communicate with international institutions to address the needs of the winter season in the Gaza Strip is a clear attempt to disavow responsibility for the humanitarian disaster in this region.
Hamas emphasized that the continued blockade of Gaza and the prevention of the entry of equipment and lodging items intensified this crisis and led to the flooding of tens of thousands of tents and the increase of the suffering of the residents following the recent rains.
This movement added that the destruction of houses and infrastructure, the continuation of the heavy siege on Gaza and the deliberate delay in the implementation of the humanitarian protocol and the provisions of the cease-fire agreement are among the causes of this disaster.
