The Iraqi government expresses its strong condemnation and rejection of the painful starvation policy imposed on the Palestinian people in Gaza.

It has become clear beyond any doubt that the Zionist entity has disregarded all humanitarian and legal considerations, using blockades and the prevention of humanitarian and food aid as additional means to intensify the killing of Palestinians.

Therefore, we urge all Arab and Islamic nations, the international community, and global organizations and institutions to take decisive action and apply maximum pressure to ensure the delivery of relief and food supplies, especially in light of the entity’s insistence on total war and the creation of famine among the besieged population in Gaza.
