The Islamic Resistance Movement - Hamas:
The IDF's claim to communicate with international bodies in order to respond to the winter demands in the Gaza Strip is nothing more than an open attempt to evade its responsibility for the humanitarian disaster that has worsened as a result of its ongoing siege and refusal to bring in shelter supplies. This led to the flooding of tens of thousands of tents and deepening the suffering of the population with the current low air pressure.
The terrible sights of sinking tens of thousands of tents and displacing hundreds of thousands of displaced people with the first air raid reveal the lie of these claims, and confirm that Israel is still blocking the entry of supplies and shelter reconstruction and equipment necessary to deal with the massive destruction effects of the Gaza war.
Israel's open attempt to appear as a response to humanitarian needs in the Gaza Strip does not fool anyone and does not change the fact that it is the one who caused this tragedy, through the destruction of houses and infrastructure, the continuation of its suffocating blockade and its deliberate delay in the implementation of the humanitarian protocol of the ceasefire and the terms of the agreement.
We reject Israel's attempts to link the rehabilitation of the Gaza Strip or the introduction of humanitarian needs to any political or security condition, since providing shelter, food, medicine and a fair life to the population is an inherent human right, and not a tool for extortion or evasion of legal and humanitarian obligations.
We call on the mediators and the Arabs, as well as the Peace Council, to take their responsibilities and put real pressure on Israel to oblige it to implement the agreements that have been signed, first of all the humanitarian protocol, and to allow the entry of the National Committee to carry out its duties, and to remove the restrictions imposed on the shelters and asylums.
The aggravation of the disaster in Gaza, with the strengthening of winter conditions, requires urgent action to put an end to the policy of blockade and collective punishment, and to ensure the urgent humanitarian needs of hundreds of thousands of families facing cold, rain and displacement in tragic and unprecedented circumstances.
