The Israeli forces have prevented 3,000 aid trucks from entering Gaza in the past two weeks, according to a statement by the Government Media Office in Gaza.

The office said in a statement on Telegram that the army has also prevented 690 sick and wounded people from travelling abroad for treatment as the Rafah and Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) crossings stay closed, according to Al Jazeera.

“This constitutes a clear danger in light of the collapse of the health system [in Gaza],” the statement said.

“The American administration, the European Union and the international community did not do their duty and did not exercise the role required of them to prevent genocide,” it added.

“Rather, they gave the occupation the green light to continue the crime of genocide,” the office also said, calling on the international community to put pressure on Israel to stop “the genocidal war”.
