Hamas spokesman, Hazem Kassem:
The catastrophic humanitarian scene in the Gaza Strip, and the suffering of the citizens as a result of the drowning of hundreds of families in their tents due to the tragic circumstances, are a stain on the forehead of the international community, which still fails to compel Israel to lift the unjust blockade on the Gaza Strip.
The responsibility for this humanitarian disaster rests with the relevant international bodies, including the so-called Peace Council and its representative, Nikolai Mladenov.
We call on the League to take urgent and effective action to save the Gaza Strip from the ongoing humanitarian disaster, in accordance with the principles and goals for which the League was founded.
