GAZA, (PIC)

The Government Emergency Operations Room in the southern governorates 
has categorically denied Israeli claims that border crossings have been 
reopened and humanitarian aid is entering Gaza, describing them as 
entirely false.

The statement confirms that the crossings have remained closed for the 
83rd consecutive day, amid escalating acts of genocide.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Operations Room condemned the 
continued closure of the crossings, despite Israeli assertions days ago 
about allowing the flow of humanitarian and medical aid. It clarified 
that all aid trucks remain stuck and have not been granted entry.

The statement added that this delay appears deliberate and may be part 
of a new Israeli plan aimed at undermining UN humanitarian institutions 
and militarizing aid delivery.

It further noted that several logistics companies have already 
approached humanitarian organizations, offering to deliver aid into Gaza 
on the condition that it be handed over to specific parties—at an 
exorbitant cost exceeding 130,000 shekels per truck.

The Operations Room called on the international community and UN 
institutions to intervene immediately to lift the blockade on Gaza 
permanently, end the genocide against civilians, and save the lives of 
innocent people—including children, women, the elderly, and the sick—who 
face daily death due to the collapse of healthcare and the total 
depletion of medicines.

It stressed that humanitarian aid must be delivered exclusively through 
UN agencies, warning against any alternative channels.

The statement also warned of the grave consequences of the continued 
policy of starvation, thirst, mass killing, and forced displacement, 
which results in the daily death of hundreds, including entire families 
erased from the civil registry, as well as the spread of disease and 
severe malnutrition among people of all ages.
