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.

Israel kills 12 Palestinians waiting for drinking water in central Gaza, including 8 children
Twelve people, including eight children, were killed on Sunday in an Israeli airstrike on a water distribution point in Nuseirat, central Gaza. The attack, one of dozens of airstrikes launched on the same day, represents the latest in a series of blows in which Israel has systematically undermined access to water for Palestinians in the strip, the Gaza Government Media Office said on Monday. Footage from the site shortly after the attack showed a large number of injured from among the crowds that had gathered with gallon containers to fetch water. Civilians could be seen carrying the injured, many of whom were young children, away from the scene. A picture from the targeted site on Monday showed the charred remains of a water tanker truck on a road in northeast Nuseirat. The driver was killed in the airstrike, according to Al Jazeera correspondent Ramy Abu Taima, who said that the tanker was filled with drinking water. Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat published an initial report on Monday announcing the arrival of 'eight martyrs, including six children, and 16 injuries, including seven children, as a result of the Israeli Occupation targeting a water distribution point in the New Camp area.' Gaza's Government Media Office updated the toll of the attack on Monday to twelve people in total. An Israeli military spokesperson, meanwhile, reportedly claimed that the missile with which it targeted a water distribution point had missed its target, which was a member of Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The Israeli Broadcasting Authority quoted the spokesperson as saying that the incident is under review. But over 110 freshwater filling stations have been targeted by Israeli aircraft over the past two years, the Government Media Office said, killing hundreds of civilians as they queue for drinking water. The attacks are part of the 'systematic and deliberate war of deprivation' of people in the Gaza Strip, in which 'water is a collective weapon of war to exterminate the population,'the media office said. Over 700 water wells have also been destroyed, depriving more than one million Palestinians of access to clean water. The Mekorot water supply, the last major source of water supply to the Gaza Strip, has been cut off since January 23, according to the office statement.
