The Palestinian Resistance demands the permanent opening of the Rafah crossing

The Palestinian resistance called for the permanent and continuous opening of the Rafah crossing to transport the wounded for treatment and for the flow of aid to all areas of the Gaza Strip under the auspices of the United Nations, UNRWA and the Palestinian Red Crescent.

“The Gaza Strip needs quantities much larger than 20 trucks of medical materials and food, and here we point out that almost 500 trucks have been entering the Gaza Strip every day under the unjust siege for seventeen years, which is below the normal and required minimum. Therefore limiting the talk to only 20 trucks is an American-Zionist attempt to deceive public opinion into thinking that the catastrophic humanitarian crisis in Gaza is about to be solved and an attempt to beautify the face of the ugly fascist occupation with a disgusting American cover.” the resistance said in a statement today.

The Resistance added: “the distribution of aid in the southern areas of the Gaza Strip only is a step that allows the occupation to continue to put pressure on our people to move from North to South under devastating bombardment and a series of hideous massacres, in order to displace them to Egypt under bombardment and direct targeting of civilians on the roads and in the southern displacement areas, which was repeated intensively and committed by the occupation forces and its American aircraft.

The resistance stressed the need to open the Rafah crossing permanently and continuously to transport the wounded for treatment abroad, and for the entry of aid to all areas of the Gaza Strip, North and South, under the auspices of the United Nations, UNRWA and the Palestinian Red Crescent, for the relief of civilians and the health sector, which is being subjected to a massacre and terrible destruction, by the Zionist war machine.
