In a statement marking World Humanitarian Day, observed annually on August 19, the Movement said the occasion comes as Israeli aggression continues and violations against Palestinians escalate across the Gaza Strip, the occupied West Bank and occupied Jerusalem.
It noted that Israel has not only blocked aid and essential supplies from reaching civilians in Gaza but has also targeted humanitarian workers and staff members of relief organizations and associations, resulting in the deaths of dozens of them while carrying out their humanitarian duties.
The Movement called on the United Nations and humanitarian organizations worldwide to continue supporting the Palestinian people and take urgent action to save more than two million displaced people in the Gaza Strip amid the catastrophic humanitarian conditions in which they are living.
Hamas stressed that the Israeli continued violations of international values, norms and laws require serious international action, emphasizing that merely issuing statements of condemnation and denunciation “is no longer acceptable.”
