Hamas will no longer participate in Alto El Fuego negotiations with Israel, without seeing no sense “whenever the wars of hunger and the war of extermination” continue in the Gaza Strip, according to the senior official of the group.
Basem Naim told the AFP news agency on Tuesday that the international community must press the Government of the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the “hunger, thirst and murders” crimes “in Gaza.
“It makes no sense to participate in conversations or consider new proposals for high fire whenever the hunger war and the extermination of the war continues in the Gaza Strip,” he said.
Naim’s comments occurred one day after Netanyahu said that the town of the enclave “will move” in an upcoming military operation expanded by the Israeli forces that Wolde entails “the conquest of the Gaza Strip and the celebration of the territories.”
Almost all 2.3 million residents of Gaza have been displaced several times since Israel began in the Palestinian enclave.
Total block
The humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip has become increasingly serious since Israel imposed a total blockade on March 2, with a great shortage of severe food and restrictions to help access as Israel carries out mortal attacks.
The Khoudary Hind of Al Jazeera, who reports from Deir El-Balah, said the Palestinians are “struggling to find food to feed their children” with some “forced to eat expired or rotten foods”, while others face any form of livelihood.
The Palestine Society Red Crescent (PRCS) said this week that food supplies in Gaza have now “exhausted” both local markets and in humanitarian distribution centers.
“The population has an extreme famine risk again,” the PRC said in their latest situation update. “There is the inability to meet the minimum daily needs or around one million displaced people.”
According to the PRC, only “limited amounts of legumes” are currently distributed to community kitchens, since all previously stored help has been exhausted.
The International Red Cross Committee (ICRC) echoed these groups, asking for the immediate entry of humanitarian aid and warning against their policies.
“The level of necessity among civilians in Gaza at this time is a host,” said Cicr Christian Cardon spokesman.
“According to the International Humanitarian Law, Israel has the obligation to use all warning means to ensure that the basic needs of the civilian population under their control are,” Hey added.

Awad, 39, who lives in a tent in the city of Khan Youis in southern Gaza, told Al Jazeera on Monday that “Israel has not stopped war, murder, bombardment, destruction, siege and hunger operation, every day, how? How? How?
“I ask the world to witness the famine that grows and spreads every day,” he said.
Aya Al-Kafy, a resident of the city of Gaza, told Al Jazeera on Monday that her baby died due to the shortage of malnutrition and medicine last week.
“I was four months old and weighed 2.8 kg [6.2lb]. Due to severe malnutrition, he suffered from blood acidity, liver and renal insufficiency, and many other complications. His hair and nails also fell due to malnutrition. “
Israeli plans
Despite repeated international appeals, gaza aid access is still very restricted. Most of the crosses in the enclave have closed for weeks, and limited shipments have been allowed only through sporadic convoys under a strict Israeli inspection.
According to the filtered plans, the Israel government, according to reports, wants to severely restrict the way the food is distributed in Gaza and proposes that the United States colleagues take the distribution of the United Nations and other humanitan agencies.
According to the plan, the Palestinian families could take a food package per week in centers designated in southern Gaza, and Israel would allow 60 trucks to enter Gaza’s strip every day, only a bell or what is necessary, according to experts.
Help groups at the UN have rejected this plan, saying that it is a pressure tactic to further reinforce supplies to save lives.
