Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor: “Israel” prevents the entry of  people’s needs into Gaza Strip

Occupied Al-Quds, (ST)- The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor confirmed that the Israeli occupation prevents the entry of the needs of the Palestinians into Gaza Strip as part of its efforts to impose harsh living conditions that lead to their death, calling on international and UN organizations to pressure the occupation to allow the entering of basic materials.

The monitor said in a statement today that the occupation authorities have been preventing the entry of blankets, clothes and shoes into the Strip for more than a year, including children’s needs, in light of the onset of winter amid catastrophic humanitarian conditions.

The occupation authorities also prevents the entry of other essentials that protect from the cold, such as heating sources and sufficient quantities of tents and tarpaulins, noting that the current winter is the second that the people of the Strip have experienced since the beginning of the Israeli war of genocide.

The monitor indicated that the total amount of aid trucks entering the Strip did not exceed 6 percent of the needs, most of which are food supplies, which caused a real crisis as the people of the Strip, including children and the elderly, were left without sufficient clothing to protect them from severe cold, while the vast majority of them remain in tents.

The monitor pointed out that these catastrophic conditions threaten to increase the exposure of Palestinians to serious diseases in the light of the lack of necessary medical care. It stressed that the continuous and severe deprivation of the basics necessary for life is an act of genocide as it deprives civilians of the simplest means of protection and creating conditions with the aim of killing them and erasing their existence.
