Gaza’s Government Media Office has warned that more than 700,000 Palestinians in the north of the territory could perish from hunger as Israel restricts humanitarian aid to the area.
According to Al Jazeera, the office called on Russia, China and Turkey as well as Arab and Muslim nations and “all countries of the free world” to intervene and apply pressure for an end to the “genocide and famine” in Gaza.
“We call for an urgent and immediate end to the genocidal war against civilians, women and children as we call for bringing 10,000 aid trucks over the next two days into Gaza,” the office said in a statement.
