The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, has called on the international
community to take immediate and urgent action to stop the ongoing crime of
starvation facing the Gaza Strip, warning of the worsening humanitarian
situation—particularly among children.

In a statement on Saturday, Hamas affirmed that more than 66 children have
died since the beginning of March due to complications from malnutrition
and famine, a result of the tightened blockade on the Strip and the
systematic starvation policies imposed by the occupation forces in Gaza.

The Movement accused the Israeli government of Benjamin Netanyahu of
committing “brutal crimes” against civilians by targeting children through
starvation and bombardment, describing this as “a flagrant violation of
international law and all human and moral norms.”

Hamas added that the occupation forces “are acting without fear of
accountability, under the political and diplomatic cover provided by the US
administration, which emboldens them to continue committing massacres and
war crimes against Gaza’s residents.”

It stressed that what is happening in Gaza is “not only a humanitarian
catastrophe, but a systematic genocide,” urging the international
community—and Arab and Islamic nations in particular—to “assume their moral
and political responsibilities, act effectively to end the war, break the
siege, and ensure the entry of aid and basic necessities for life.”

According to the latest official statistics, more than 240 deaths due to
hunger and lack of medical treatment in the Gaza Strip have been recorded
since the beginning of the year, most of them among children and the
elderly, amid an unprecedented rise in severe malnutrition cases.
