Gaza - Saba:
The Government Media Office in Gaza stated that the Zionist enemy has committed a new and horrific massacre against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip, as its forces opened direct fire on starving civilians gathered to receive aid at so-called "aid distribution centers" in Rafah.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the office reported that the Zionist enemy killed ten starving civilians and injured 62 others at these so-called "aid distribution centers" in Rafah over two days.
The statement noted that the brutal crime occurred during peaceful gatherings of civilians driven by dire need and extreme hunger to seek aid at these locations, which were supposed to provide humanitarian assistance. Instead, they became death traps under enemy gunfire, as part of a suspiciously engineered project managed by the American organization called "Gaza Humanitarian Relief Foundation" (GHF).
The office emphasized that this crime, repeated for the second consecutive day, reflects an unprecedented moral , humanitarian collapse and constitutes a full-fledged war crime under international law.
It stressed that the killing of civilians is undeniable proof that the so-called "aid distribution zones" are nothing but a false humanitarian cover for racist security schemes aimed at humiliating, starving, and even killing Palestinians—if necessary—on the threshold of obtaining bread.
The statement held the enemy forces fully and directly responsible for cold-bloodedly firing on the starving civilians.
It further accused the American organization GHF, managed by the enemy, of providing logistical and political cover for this massacre and acting as an executive arm in the "buffer zones" project, which replicates "racial isolation ghettos" and lacks the slightest elements of neutrality or humanity.
The office called on the free international community, as well as Arab and Islamic nations, to take immediate action to break the siege, reject all forms of complicity with the enemy, and establish independent and safe relief channels that preserve human dignity and prevent further massacres.
It warned that continued international silence on these crimes amounts to shameful complicity and perpetuates a culture of impunity that has long encouraged the enemy to carry out massacres. The statement also reminded that deliberate starvation constitutes a form of genocide under Article II of the 1948 Genocide Convention.
