Hamas accuses Israel of blocking aid into Gaza

Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem said Israel is preventing the entry of essential humanitarian aid, including tents, gas and heavy equipment to clear rubble, despite the ceasefire.

Qassem also stated that Israel is creating difficulties in implementing the humanitarian pathway under the ceasefire agreement.

The spokesperson called on mediators to "intervene and take care of issues with the enacting of the humanitarian protocol in the ceasefire agreement".
