<p>GAZA, (PIC)</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>“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.</p>
<p>“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.</p>
<p>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.”</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
