The Palestinian Cabinet renewed its call on the international community to assume its responsibilities and take practical and effective measures to halt the humanitarian catastrophe facing Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, as they enter their fourth winter living in dilapidated tents that offer little protection from the cold and rain.
The Cabinet highlighted the extremely harsh living conditions, which lack even the most basic necessities for a dignified human life, as a result of the continued Israeli occupation’s restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid and essential shelter and reconstruction supplies, amid international silence over the worsening suffering.
According to the Palestinian news agency (WAFA) on Monday, the Cabinet called on all local and international parties to facilitate the work of Palestinian government teams in the Gaza Strip to help alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people.
It stressed the need for all parties to cooperate and ensure that field relief programs are not obstructed, as government teams carry out urgent interventions, including establishing shelters, repairing water networks, rehabilitating infrastructure and providing basic necessities.
