BREAKING: HAMAS OFFICIAL STATEMENT
AIRDROP EXPOSED
The famine deepens in the Gaza Strip, and the airdrops of aid are useless. We hold the the US admin, international community, and the occupation responsible.
The famine continues to deepen significantly in the governorates of the Gaza Strip, with 2.4M people suffering from a severe lack of food. The famine is particularly severe in North Gaza and Gaza. This disaster has already led to the martyrdom of 15 children due to hunger, malnutrition, and dehydration, threatening the lives of more than 700k Palestinian citizens suffering from extreme hunger.
Some countries have attempted to air drop aid through a few planes, but it is well known that this is not the optimal method to deliver aid to the people of the Gaza Strip. We affirm the following:
1. We believe some countries that have conducted aerial aid drops have good intentions, while others, like the US and others, have malicious and devious intentions as they actively participate in the war, supply the occupation with weapons, and give it the green light to commit more massacres.
2. The practice of airdrop aid & ignoring the introduction of aid through land crossings is part of a circumventing strategy that avoids root solutions to the problem by following showy, propaganda, and ineffective methods. This aligns with the occupation's policy of enhancing the starvation policy, buying time for the occupation, and extending the famine to inflict as much damage as possible on the people and citizens.
3. The airdrop operations carry serious repercussions for the residents and people, posing a significant challenge, as part of this aid lands near the separation fence or in areas controlled by the occupation army or within the occupied Palestinian lands, thus endangering the lives of citizens trying to access the aid.
4. Airdrop operations are extremely difficult in a crowded environment like the Gaza Strip, home to 2.4m people. Aerially delivered aid is susceptible to damage due to weather conditions or serious accidents in the Gaza Strip. Some of the aiddrop has fallen into the sea and has not reached the people, while land transport of aid reaches citizens safely and is not subject to damage.
5. The aid delivered by air is minimal & limited, and the capacity of the planes is limited and does not meet the people's needs at all. The aerially delivered aid does not cover anything, but is merely a drop in the ocean of massive needs, unlike land transport, which can deliver the largest possible quantity of aid safely to the people and citizens suffering from hunger. Ariel transport operations are significantly more expensive than much less costly land transport operations.
6. The aid delivered by air does not achieve justice at all, as this process requires 2.4M people to go out into the streets and then run after the aid, which does not reach safe places, in a shameful, humiliating, inhumane, and non-humanitarian manner.
7. The policy of closing land crossings to relief, supply, and food aid convoys constitutes a war crime in violation of international law, international humanitarian law, and all international conventions, which is what the occupation does against our Palestinian people since the beginning of the genocide.
In light of this, we renew our full responsibility to the US admin, the international community, and the occupation for the genocide waged by the occupation against civilians, children, and women. We also hold them responsible for famine & enhancement of the starvation policy, and for 19 types of crimes against humanity committed by the occupation in the Gaza Strip
We call on all free countries of the world to pressure the occupation to stop the genocide & ethnic cleansing against our Palestinian people, which has claimed more than 100k victims, including martyrs, wounded, and detainees, and to immediately and unconditionally stop the bloodshed against civilians, women, and children
#OpenBorders4Gaza
In Gaza, Israel has destroyed
- churches dating back to the 5th century, mosques to the early 7th century
- every university
- museums
- cemeteries
- an ancient harbour
- libraries
- archives
And people are crying over a painting of the arch-racist Arthur Balfour.
BREAKING: TURKISH PRESIDENT ERDOGAN OFFICIAL STATEMENT
“Hamas is not a terrorist organization, but rather a resistance, and we stand firmly behind them and in constant contact with its leaders
Netanyahu's government continues to commit more massacres against the Palestinian people
We will continue to do what is necessary to hold Israeli officials accountable for the massacres committed in Gaza in accordance with international law.
We invested in our relations that developed recently with the Egyptian authorities to deliver aid to Gaza
Netanyahu and his government added their names to Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin, considering them the Nazis of our time through the crimes they committed in Gaza.
A Turkish Red Crescent aid ship with a capacity of 3,000 tons will arrive in Al-Arish in Egypt tomorrow.
The total humanitarian aid we have sent to Gaza has reached 40,000 tons so far via 19 aircraft and 7 civilian ships.”
