GAZA, (PIC)

Gaza’s Government Media Office (GMO) has said that the Israeli occupation
army’s closure of the Rafah border crossing over the past 100 days has
claimed the lives of more than 1,000 children, patients and wounded
civilians, warning that the humanitarian disaster in the war-ravaged costal
enclave has deepened.

“The occupation army continues to close the Rafah border crossing between
Palestine and Egypt for the 100th day running after burning and bulldozing
it and putting it out of service,” GMO said in a statement on Wednesday.

“This Israeli closure of the crossing continues to take place as the
humanitarian tragedy has deepened at all levels and affected all aspects of
life,” GMO added.

GMO condemned the ongoing closure of the crossing as a “crime” and an
“obvious legal violation of the international law, the international
humanitarian law and all international conventions.”

GMO accused the Israeli occupation of preventing the entry of all sorts of
humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, including vital medical needs, which
seriously worsened the health and humanitarian situation.

GMO also accused the Israeli occupation of seeking to destroy Gaza’s health
system in its entirety and using the starvation policy as a tool for
political pressure.
