In a telephone conversation with Al-Hayat TV, Shawa noted that drinking water in the coastal enclave is running out, as is the fuel needed to operate hospitals and power plants.

Most residents are now displaced, living in an area that does not exceed 18% of the territory’s surface, in extremely difficult humanitarian conditions, he stated.

He also criticized the aid distribution centers created by Israel and the United States, claiming that they have become death traps.

Starving civilians are forced to travel long distances along rough and dangerous roads to reach these facilities under the control of the Israeli army, whose troops fire at them as they approach, he denounced.

This aid is mixed with blood and is very limited and insufficient to meet the needs of the Strip’s population, he said.

The activist emphasized that there are no ambulance services in Gaza, forcing the wounded to be transported on foot.
