Israel accused of obstructing humanitarian aid despite ceasefire deal

Hamas has accused Israel of deliberately blocking humanitarian aid from reaching Gaza, violating the terms of the ceasefire agreement.

“Twenty-two days from the ceasefire have passed, and the Israeli occupation still hinders the implementation of the humanitarian protocol, especially the entry of tents, fuel, and heavy machinery,” Hamas spokesman Abdel Latif al-Qanoua said in a statement.

He urged mediators to increase pressure on Israel to comply with the agreement and allow essential medical and relief supplies into Gaza to prevent further suffering amongst Palestinians.
