The Red Crescent calls for pressure on Israel to open a humanitarian corridor
The Red Crescent Society called on international organizations to pressure Israel to open a humanitarian corridor to allow the entry of medical supplies and humanitarian aid, due to the deteriorating humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip.
She emphasized that the Israeli occupation checkpoints surrounding the Strip are still closed for the fourth day in a row, which heralds a humanitarian crisis in light of the great shortage of medical supplies and materials that the health system suffers from.
He pointed out that international humanitarian law requires the occupation authorities to allow relief operations for the benefit of the occupied territory's population, and to facilitate their passage.
The sector witnessed almost complete paralysis in all aspects of life, as work continued to be suspended in all universities and schools, and the electricity crisis is still witnessing an increasing exacerbation and scarcity in fuel supplies, as a result of the air, land, and sea military blockade imposed by the occupation authorities on the sector 16 years ago, which constitutes a punishment. Collectively prohibited by the provisions of international humanitarian law.
