Palestinian Cabinet warns of worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza Strip

Ramallah, October 13 (KUNA) -- The Palestinian Cabinet warned today, Tuesday, of the worsening humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip as the war of genocide enters its fourth year and a year has passed since the ceasefire agreement, amid the continued Israeli war machine’s toll on civilian lives. In a statement issued after its weekly meeting, the Cabinet said that two million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are facing their fourth winter without adequate protection from rain, floods, and cold, in addition to a severe shortage of shelter supplies.

At the same time, the Cabinet commended a statement issued by 100 international relief and human rights organizations, which described the Gaza ceasefire agreement as mere “ink on paper” in light of ongoing daily killings, and emphasized that approximately 1.4 million people are suffering from acute and critical levels of hunger amid the near-total collapse of the health system.

The Palestinian Cabinet called for a more serious international move to halt the occupation’s crimes, settler terrorism, and incursions into cities, villages, and camps.

The Palestinian Resistance to the Wall and Settlement Authority documented 719 terrorist attacks against Palestinians and their property between October 4 and 10, which included burning vehicles, property, and land; attacking and displacing olive harvesters from their lands; assaulting and detaining citizens; stealing crops; establishing new settlement outposts; and demolishing 27 Palestinian facilities.
