Gaza – Saba:
The International Commission to Support the Rights of the Palestinian People (HASHD) has called for an immediate halt to the US-Israeli aid distribution mechanism and the ongoing killing of starving civilians.
During a press conference held on Thursday at Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City, the commission urged international intervention to stop the genocide and ensure the flow of humanitarian aid.
In its statement, HASHD addressed the genocide crimes committed against the people of Gaza, particularly the killing of starving civilians who had gathered near US-Israeli aid distribution centers.
The statement emphasized that humanity stands at a critical crossroads, witnessing the continuous and grave crimes committed by Israeli occupation forces against Palestinian civilians in Gaza. These crimes have persisted without interruption since October 7, 2023—over 630 days—constituting one of the most horrific genocides in modern history.
It highlighted the unprecedented catastrophic conditions in Gaza, where Israel’s war machine has systematically destroyed civilian houses, shelters, displacement tents, infrastructure, hospitals, and schools. Israel’s suffocating blockade has led to widespread famine, severe shortages of water, medicine, and other basic necessities.
The statement stressed that the Israeli occupation is implementing a systematic policy of starvation, control over civilians, and the use of aid as a tool for blackmail, demographic manipulation, and warfare.
These actions, it said, constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity, representing a blatant violation of international humanitarian law—particularly the Fourth Geneva Convention and the Genocide Convention—as well as the rulings of the International Court of Justice.
