Hamas urges Arab, Muslim nations to send aid convoys to Gaza

Hamas has called on Arab and Muslim countries to dispatch aid convoys to Gaza, saying the move could pressure Israel to allow relief into the besieged enclave.

“The humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip is entering a critical phase as a result of a widening and deepening famine, coupled with ongoing brutal massacres,” the group said in a statement.

Hamas accused Israel and the United States of using aid as a tool of war, describing their mechanism as a “criminal manipulation of civilian needs” designed to advance Israeli military objectives.

The group also urged the UN Security Council to take action to stop Israel’s assault, lift the siege, and guarantee the delivery of aid through United Nations channels.
