Gaza on Brink of Humanitarian Catastrophe: Arab League Urges Global Action

Gaza on the Brink of Humanitarian Catastrophe; International Community Must Fulfill Its Responsibility — Arab League

Shiite News: The Secretary-General of the Arab League has demanded that Arab and international relief organizations deliver all possible emergency humanitarian aid to Gaza’s affected population in an urgent and coordinated manner. He announced an Arab League initiative aimed at establishing a humanitarian aid network for emergencies and called on all relevant institutions to join the project.

According to the Arab League Secretary-General, Gaza continues to face hunger, siege, destruction and severe shortages of medicines, water and food. Since the war began in October 2023, the policies of the usurping Israeli regime have paralyzed all aspects of life for more than 2 million Palestinians. Winter, rains and floods have once again worsened the hardships of thousands of displaced people.

According to him, rains and floods have submerged or destroyed 40,000 temporary shelters and 70,000 tents set up for displaced people, affecting millions of Palestinians. Thousands of Palestinian families are living under the open sky and lack heating devices, adequate clothing and blankets.

On the other hand, Iran’s foreign minister said regarding the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza that a “silent genocide” is underway there, but Gaza’s dire situation has long failed to find a place in Western media headlines. He called the situation shameful and said the usurping Israeli regime has succeeded in at least one aspect of trying to fuel the war to divert public attention from its failures.
