In statements to the Qatari television station Al Jazeera, he explained that the escalation of violence against the northern coastal enclave, especially Gaza City, prevented relief teams from reaching thousands of affected families.

“The current conditions deprive civilians of their most basic rights: drinking water, food, and medical supplies,” he denounced.

Shawa also criticized the continued incursions against vital infrastructure and facilities in the territory.

Along with this strategy, the closure of border crossings and the ban on the entry of essential goods, such as food, medicine, and fuel, exacerbated the humanitarian disaster in the Strip, he noted.

The activist warned of a total collapse in the capacity of civil society organizations to respond to the needs of the besieged population.

Faced with this situation, he urged the international community and UN humanitarian agencies to intervene immediately and pressure Israel to force it to stop the bombing.
