Palestine, PUREWILAYAH.COM - Hospitals in Gaza have reported the death of more than 115 people due to starvation caused by the Israeli occupation’s blockade.
The worsening famine is spreading across the entire Strip, compounded by the complete closure of all crossings for 145 consecutive days and the continued prevention of essential humanitarian aid and baby formula from entering.
In a statement released on Thursday, the Government Media Office in Gaza warned of a near-total absence of food, water, and medicine. It stressed that the Strip urgently requires at least 500,000 bags of flour per week to avert total humanitarian collapse.
Gaza Authorities Denounce Misinformation and Urge Immediate Action
The office also addressed circulating claims made by some activists outside Gaza, suggesting the famine has been broken or that "hundreds of aid trucks" have entered, categorically denying the assertions.
"These claims have no basis in reality," the statement emphasized, warning that such narratives dangerously echo Israeli propaganda and distort the truth of the ongoing humanitarian crime.
It further cautioned against the spread of rumors that could numb international awareness and shift attention away from the crisis, urging the Palestinian people and their allies to reject misinformation and remain steadfast in delivering accurate accounts of the situation.
The statement concluded with an appeal to all countries, without exception, to immediately break the blockade, permanently open the crossings, and ensure the unrestricted entry of baby formula and humanitarian aid for the more than 2.4 million Palestinians trapped under siege in the Gaza Strip.
