Government Media in Gaza: 326 Palestinians Die from Malnutrition, Lack of Food and Medicine Over 80 Days of Israeli Blockade
GAZA: The Government Media Office in the Gaza Strip revealed that the starvation imposed by the Israeli occupation in the Gaza Strip has killed 58 Palestinians due to malnutrition, 242 others due to food and medicine shortages, including 26 kidney patients, and caused 300 miscarriages among pregnant women during the 80 days of the Israeli blockade following their violation of the ceasefire agreement.
The media office expressed in a report deep concern and condemnation over the worsening humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip due to the occupation’s continued systematic starvation methods on Palestinians, in addition to the blockade imposed to prevent the entry of food, medical supplies, and fuel for 80 consecutive days, which is a clear crime that amounts to genocide and portends a major humanitarian catastrophe threatening the lives of more than 2.4 million Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.
The media office added that since March 2, 2025, the Israeli occupation has not allowed a single truckload of humanitarian aid or fuel into the Gaza Strip, despite the urgent need for at least 44,000 trucks to enter during this period to meet the minimum basic needs of the population.
This is met with a complete closure of all crossings, in flagrant violation of all international laws and norms, and in full view of the international community, the report underlined, adding that the humanitarian situation in Gaza has reached catastrophic levels in every sense of the word.
The media office called on all countries of the world, the international community, the United Nations, and humanitarian and human rights organizations to take urgent and immediate action to open all crossings, allow food, medicine, and fuel into the Gaza Strip, and save the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians before it is too late. The Gaza Strip needs 500 aid trucks and 50 fuel trucks daily for vital and medical facilities.
It also called on the International Criminal Court and human rights and legal organizations to assume their moral and legal responsibilities in prosecuting the leaders of the Israeli occupation as war criminals, holding them accountable before international courts, and halting these massacres and violations that exceed all limits of humanity.
Israeli occupation forces resumed their aggression on the Gaza Strip on March 18, launching airstrikes across the territory, killing and wounding more than 12,000 Palestinians.
