Gaza’s Government Media Office has condemned Israel for what it describes as the ongoing “strangulation” of over 1.7 million residents in the densely populated coastal enclave. In a statement released on its official Telegram channel, the office accused Israel of continuing to force civilians into a confined area, which it claims constitutes less than a tenth of Gaza’s total territory.
The statement highlighted the severe humanitarian impact of Israeli actions, alleging that the restrictions and bombardments have led to widespread displacement and suffering among Gaza’s population. The Government Media Office accused Israel of exacerbating the crisis by persistently targeting civilian areas, further compounding the already dire conditions in the region.
The office also placed significant blame on the United States, holding both Israel and the US responsible for the “catastrophic repercussions” of what it termed a deliberate and criminal campaign against Gaza’s civilians. The claim represents a growing tension between Gaza and its international critics.
The statement from the press office of the government of Gaza has been published amid military conflicts and increasing regional tensions. The situation in Gaza is critical, and the international call for humanitarian aid and an end to hostilities is growing.
The Israeli government has yet to respond to the specific allegations made by the Gaza government media. However, Israel has consistently defended its military actions as a necessary means of countering terrorism, citing security concerns as justification for its actions.
The international community continues to monitor the situation, and various humanitarian organizations are calling for more aid and refocusing on humanitarian efforts to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
