Doctors Without Borders said on Wednesday that "Israeli military operations" and the blocking of humanitarian aid have turned Gaza into a graveyard for Palestinians and those who help them.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu resumed his war of extermination on Gaza with US support on March 18, after deciding to withdraw from the ceasefire agreement reached in mid-January under the administration of former President Joe Biden. The agreement entered into force on January 19, 2024, and lasted for two months, with Netanyahu refusing to enter into negotiations for the next phase.

Hundreds of thousands of Gazans have been displaced, as Israeli authorities have blocked the delivery of humanitarian aid since March 2, before the truce collapsed.

The United Nations says medical supplies, fuel, water and other necessities are in scarce supply.

"Gaza has become a mass grave for Palestinians and those who help them," said Amandie Bazirol, MSF coordinator.

Last month, Israeli forces fired on ambulances in Gaza, killing 15 paramedics and rescuers in an incident that drew international condemnation.

"We are witnessing, in real time, the destruction and forced displacement of the entire population of Gaza," Bazirol added. "With no safe place for Palestinians or those trying to help them, the humanitarian response is severely strained by insecurity and severe shortages of supplies, leaving people with limited, if any, options for care."

The Israeli occupation authorities announced on Wednesday that they would continue to prevent the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza. For his part, Defense Minister Israel Katz stated on Wednesday that Israel would continue to prevent the entry of aid into the besieged Strip, which has a population of 2.4 million. Israeli Defense Minister Katz said on Wednesday: "Israel's policy is clear: No humanitarian aid will enter Gaza, and preventing this aid is one of the main pressure tools to prevent Hamas from using it as a tool to pressure the population."

He added, "No one is currently planning to allow any humanitarian aid into Gaza, and there are no preparations to enable such aid."

Senior Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have repeatedly pointed to military pressure as the only way to secure the release of the remaining 58 detainees in Gaza.
