Hamas Calls for Global Action Sunday Against Israeli-Induced Starvation in Gaza - Jordan News
Hamas has called for a global mobilization on Sunday against what it describes as Israel's systematic starvation policy and ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip. اضافة اعلان In a statement issued Saturday, the movement said: 'A call to the nation and to all free people of the world to rise up globally to save the Palestinian people in Gaza from death by bombing, hunger, and thirst. Let tomorrow, Sunday, and the days that follow be a powerful outcry against the Zionist occupation and the deliberate starvation in Gaza.' Hamas urged people worldwide to launch 'all forms of massive public marches, solidarity events, loud outcries, and every kind of political, diplomatic, parliamentary, labor, and student pressure in solidarity with Gaza and against the war of genocide and starvation, until the brutal aggression ends and the unjust siege is lifted.' The statement called for Sunday and the days that follow to be 'global days of exposing and condemning Zionist crimes of genocide and starvation against innocent civilians in Gaza, including children, women, and the sick.' It concluded by saying: 'Let all efforts come together—Arab, Islamic, and international—and let us unite our voices in solidarity with Gaza and against the war of genocide and starvation targeting more than two million Palestinians.' Earlier on Saturday, the Gaza Ministry of Health warned of the catastrophic effects of famine gripping the Strip due to Israel's total closure of border crossings since early March. It confirmed a sharp increase in deaths caused by hunger. In a statement, the ministry said the Gaza Strip is experiencing 'an actual famine, evident in a severe shortage of essential food supplies, a widespread outbreak of acute malnutrition, and a total lack of medical resources to treat the consequences of this disaster.' On Friday, the Gaza Government Media Office announced that the number of children who have died due to malnutrition has risen to 69 since October 7, 2023. It added that total deaths caused by lack of food and medicine have reached 620 people since October 7, 2023. Since March 2, 2025, Israel has completely closed all crossings into the Gaza Strip, blocking the entry of food and medical aid and triggering a severe famine in the enclave. Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been waging a campaign of genocide in Gaza, marked by killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, ignoring all international appeals and rulings from the International Court of Justice to cease its actions. According to Anadolu Agency, this genocide, backed by the United States, has resulted in over 198,000 Palestinians killed or wounded—most of them women and children—more than 9,000 missing persons, hundreds of thousands displaced, and a famine that has claimed many lives.

Death Toll from Malnutrition in Gaza Rises to 66 Children - Jordan News
The number of children who have died in the Gaza Strip due to severe malnutrition has risen to 66, as the Israeli occupation continues to close border crossings and prevent the entry of infant formula and nutritional supplements intended for vulnerable groups, particularly infants and the sick. اضافة اعلان In a press statement released today, the Government Media Office in Gaza stated that this conduct constitutes a war crime and a crime against humanity, revealing the Israeli occupation's deliberate use of starvation as a weapon to exterminate civilians—especially children—in blatant violation of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions. The office strongly condemned this ongoing crime against children in Gaza and expressed deep concern and outrage over the rising number of child casualties. It also denounced the international silence in the face of the suffering of children left to fall prey to hunger, disease, and slow death, holding the Israeli occupation fully responsible for this catastrophe. The statement called on the international community, the United Nations, and Arab and Islamic countries to take immediate action and pressure Israel to open the crossings without delay, allow the entry of food and medical supplies, and save the remaining children and patients before it is too late.
