Civil Society Organizations Network: Gaza enters advanced stage of famine due to siege
Gaza – Saba:
Amjad Al-Shawa, head of the Civil Society Organizations Network in the Gaza Strip, warned that the enclave is entering an advanced stage of famine due to the ongoing closure of Gaza's crossings by the Zionist enemy since the beginning of last March. This has caused a severe shortage of food supplies and humanitarian aid.
In press statements on Wednesday, Al-Shawa confirmed that most community kitchens (known as "Takyas"), which around 40% of Gaza's population relies on for one daily meal, will cease operations within days due to depleted supplies.
He warned of an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe, especially as malnutrition cases among children and women continue to rise.
The term "Takya" refers to a kitchen primarily dedicated to feeding the poor—an ancient communal practice that has flourished during the horrific Zionist aggression on the densely populated Gaza Strip.
Nearly a week ago, UNRWA reported that the closure of all crossings has led to the worst humanitarian crisis in Gaza since October 2023, with no humanitarian or commercial supplies entering for over seven weeks—the longest aid blockade since the aggression began.
In the same context, the Government Media Office recently warned of the increasing cases of acute malnutrition in Gaza, particularly among children and infants, as the aggression and tightened siege continue to prevent the entry of humanitarian aid.

President congratulates Russian counterpart
Sana'a - Saba: President of the Supreme Political Council Mahdi al-Mashat on Wednesday sent a congratulatory cable to President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin on the occasion of the friendly Russian people's celebration of Sovereignty Day. The cable read: As your friendly people celebrate Sovereignty Day, I am pleased to extend to Your Excellency my warmest congratulations, along with my cordial wishes for good health, happiness, and further development for your friendly country. As your friendly people celebrate Sovereignty Day, it gives me great pleasure to extend to Your Excellency my warmest congratulations, along with my sincere wishes for your continued health and happiness, and for further growth and prosperity for your friendly country. The Russian role is highly regarded and relied upon in restoring global balance and curbing the blind imperialism that seeks to dominate the sovereignty of nations and interfere in their internal affairs to control the wealth of peoples. We hope that Russia's future role will further promote global peace and stability for all societies and nations—foremost among them the Palestinian cause, as the Palestinian people face genocide at the hands of the brutal Zionist machine, under the cover of American imperialism. Such actions stand in stark violation of all international covenants and agreements. We would like to take this opportunity to reaffirm our country's keenness to deepen the bonds of friendship with your nation in all fields, in a manner that enhances both regional and international security and stability.
