The Gaza media office has said in a statement on Telegram that Israel provides full support for the theft of aid and kills security personnel to starve civilians, Al Jazeera reports.

“We condemn in the strongest terms the crimes committed by the Israeli occupation,” it said.

The statement added: “We call on the international community, the United Nations, and human rights and humanitarian organisations to intervene urgently and pressure the Israeli occupation to ensure the flow of aid without any obstacles.”
