The head of the political bureau of Hamas, Dr. Khalil al-Hiya:
We call on the international community to raise the necessary funding for humanitarian aid, early recovery and rehabilitation, and to ensure the entry of essential construction materials, equipment and machinery.
We call on the concerned countries to act urgently to gather support for a proposed resolution requiring Israel to meet its obligations, and to convene an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council to address the scope of the humanitarian disaster in Gaza.
