<p>GAZA, (PIC)</p>
<p>The Hamas Movement has called on international mediators to take
effective and concrete steps to compel Israel to comply with its
obligations under the ceasefire agreement, amid mounting warnings that
Israeli obstruction is threatening the continuation of humanitarian
operations in Gaza.</p>
<p>The call came in response to a joint statement issued by the United
Nations and more than 200 humanitarian organizations, which warned that
Israeli restrictions are jeopardizing life-saving aid efforts across the
territory.</p>
<p>In a press statement, Hamas said the UN warning over Israel\u2019s
potential move to revoke the registration of dozens of international
relief organizations \u201cunderscores the danger of the occupation\u2019s
approach in deepening the humanitarian catastrophe.\u201d</p>
<p>The Movement stressed that these policies require urgent
international action and the mobilization of all available means to
provide relief to Palestinians in Gaza.</p>
<p>Hamas said the Israeli government, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, is,
according to the UN and international organizations, systematically
tightening the siege and weaponizing humanitarian aid, depriving
civilians of their basic rights as part of the ongoing genocide against
the Palestinian people.</p>
<p>It said these actions constitute a clear violation of the ceasefire
agreement brokered under the sponsorship of US president Donald Trump,
adding that hundreds of field violations have resulted in the killing of
hundreds of Palestinians, either by fire from the Israeli occupation
forces or as a result of obstructed relief operations and the failure to
provide shelter for displaced civilians.</p>
<p>In a separate statement, Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem said the
martyrdom of children from extreme cold in Gaza amounted to a crime
committed by the occupation through its continued siege and its
prevention of reconstruction.</p>
<p>Qassem said repeated appeals to allow real shelter solutions and to
begin reconstruction have failed to move the international community to
save Gaza\u2019s children, who \u201cwere killed by bombardment and are now dying
from the cold.\u201d</p>
<p>He urged the international community to take immediate and serious
action to rescue Gaza before the catastrophe worsens and mass fatalities
occur. He also called on the US administration and President Donald
Trump to pressure Israel to honor its ceasefire commitments,
particularly humanitarian and relief provisions, and to ensure that
international humanitarian organizations can operate without obstruction
in Gaza.</p>
<p>Earlier on Thursday, Nasser Medical Complex announced the martyrdom
of a child due to severe cold in the al-Mawasi area west of Khan Yunis,
in southern Gaza, adding to a growing number of children who have died
in recent days as a result of harsh weather conditions.</p>
<p>Over the past week, Gaza has been hit by two severe winter storms
that have killed at least 16 Palestinians, further worsening living
conditions in a territory devastated by genocide that has killed more
than 70,000 people, wounded over 171,000 others, and destroyed around 90
percent of civilian infrastructure.</p>
<p>Heavy rains have flooded approximately 53,000 tents that fail to meet
even minimum humanitarian safety standards, as border crossings remain
closed and the entry of emergency shelter materials is blocked. The
crisis has been compounded by Israel\u2019s failure to comply with the
ceasefire agreement and its humanitarian protocol, particularly
provisions related to shelters, tents, and mobile housing units.</p>
