has entered the \u201cmost dangerous stage of genocide\u201d as the Israeli siege
and restrictions on food have caused a \u201ccatastrophic famine\u201d to spread
across the Palestinian territory. </strong></p>
<p>In a statement on Wednesday, Hamas said Israel\u2019s closure of crossings
and blocking of the entry of all humanitarian aid into Gaza, which has
been in place since March, has deprived more than two million people of
food and medicine, leaving 40,000 babies and 60,000 pregnant women
facing imminent death.</p>
<p>The resistance movement said the Israeli regime has turned food
supplies into \u201ca weapon for slow killing\u201d and humanitarian aid into \u201ca
means for creating chaos and looting.\u201d</p>
<p>According to the statement, most of the few aid trucks allowed to
enter the strip have been subjected to systematic \u201clooting and attacks\u201d
with the aim of \u201cengineering chaos and starvation\u201d, exacerbating the
humanitarian situation in Gaza and the suffering of civilians.</p>
<p>Noting that Gaza needs the entry of at least 600 trucks carrying
humanitarian aid and fuel into the strip on a daily basis, Hamas stated
that only a small fraction of this number is actually allowed.</p>
<p>Highlighting the extent of the catastrophe, Hamas said that mothers
in Gaza have been forced to feed their babies water instead of milk.</p>
<p>According to the statement, 154 Palestinians have so far died from hunger, including 89 children.</p>
<p>The movement also condemned the Israeli targeting of teams tasked
with securing the aid allowed to enter the strip, stating that the
regime opens corridors for gangs to loot the aid under its protection as
part of \u201ca systematic plan to perpetuate famine as a weapon of war.\u201d</p>
<p>Hamas urged international bodies to expose Israel\u2019s policy of
\u201cengineering starvation\u201d, noting that it is a deliberate \u201cwar crime\u201d, no
less serious than direct bombardment.</p>
<p>Hamas said the \u201cimmediate and unconditional\u201d breaking of the siege
and the opening of the crossings is the \u201conly solution\u201d to end the
catastrophe in Gaza, warning of the serious consequences of any delay
for vulnerable people, including children, patients, and the elderly.</p>
<p>The statement also urged free peoples and human rights and
humanitarian organizations around the world to \u201cescalate\u201d their actions
against Israel, and work towards imposing an independent and secure UN
mechanism for the entry and distribution of aid, away from the control
of the Israeli regime.</p>
<p>Israel has killed more than 60,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, in Gaza, according to the Health Ministry of Gaza.</p>
