Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa warned of the continued fragility of the humanitarian situation in Gaza amid unjustified delays in the entry of humanitarian aid and basic necessities.
He said the delays are worsening the suffering of Palestinians, especially as heavy rains have flooded hundreds of tents and increased the impact of severe weather conditions.
Speaking during the weekly Cabinet session, Mustafa stressed that Palestinians in Gaza continue to endure the devastating consequences of the ongoing Israeli aggression despite the announcement of a ceasefire.
He emphasised the urgent need for the uninterrupted flow of humanitarian aid and essential supplies.
The government also affirmed its readiness to co-ordinate with the High Representative for Gaza to provide basic services and support relief, recovery, and reconstruction programmes during the transitional phase, in line with UN Security Council Resolution 2803 and international legitimacy resolutions supporting the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
The Cabinet further condemned the Israeli authorities’ decision to seize 2,000 dunams of land in the towns of Sebastia and Burqa, north of Nablus, describing it as a move targeting the archaeological site in Sebastia and harming Palestinian historical heritage, alongside escalating demolition orders in various areas. It called for a serious international stance to halt these violations.
