Tunis - Saba:
The Joint Action for Palestine Coordination Committee in Tunisia on Saturday called on Libyan authorities to immediately lift the siege on the "Steadfastness Convey" camp and allow vital food supplies to enter, aiming to alleviate the challenging conditions faced by its occupants.
In a statement released Saturday morning, the committee reported that a 50-kilometer radius of internet jamming, blocking, and cutting continues on the coastal road near Libya's Sirte Gate, an issue that began on Thursday evening, June 12. They confirmed that the security and military cordon around the camp remains in place, enforcing a complete ban on entry and exit, and strictly prohibiting the delivery of food and logistical supplies, a ban which has "increased in intensity."
The Coordination Committee noted that a meeting held last evening (June 13) between camp members and eastern Libyan officials, including the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Interior, failed to yield solutions or arrangements that would allow the convoy to proceed to Gaza while ensuring Libya's sovereignty and security.
The committee urged Libyan authorities to restore communication networks for families to check on loved ones and called for easier contact with the convoy's management.
It emphasized that only convoy spokespersons issue official positions and expressed hope for continued calm and fraternal negotiations, echoing statements from Libyan ministries regarding the convoy.
