MoFA also warned against continued Israeli attacks and military escalation, which are exacerbating the catastrophic humanitarian crisis in the Strip.

The ministry also stressed that the urgent priority is to safeguard civilian lives and ensure the immediate, intensified and safe delivery of humanitarian, relief and medical aid to the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip without any obstacles.
