Aid blocked from entering Gaza for 65 days: Media office

Gaza's government media office said in a statement that no aid and medical equipment have been allowed to enter Gaza in the past 65 days, "which threatens the lives of thousands of children, the sick and civilians".

"Hundreds of thousands of tonnes of aid and medical equipment are piling up on the other side of border crossings into Gaza – a crime of historic proportions that reflects the moral decadence of various countries supporting the Israeli onslaught," the statement added.

The media office condemned the Israeli decision, backed by the US, to "starve our people".
