It is crucial to
emphasize that the occupation persists in targeting educational institutions,
with 160 schools suffering varying degrees of damage, and 19 schools forced out
of service.
According to the
latest data from the
Palestinian Ministry of Health, nearly 3,000 individuals
have lost their lives, and over 12,500 others have been injured, as reported by
Al-Mamlaka TV.
Regarding the Rafah
crossing, Marouf called for its permanent opening as a gateway for the wounded,
injured, and much-needed humanitarian aid throughout Gaza. He cautioned against
any consideration of directing aid and supplies exclusively to the
southern areas of Gaza, which he deemed a clear collaboration with the occupier's plan
and an attempt to achieve what the occupier failed to do through bombing,
destruction, and psychological warfare.
He also reiterated the
importance of
UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency) fulfilling its
responsibilities throughout all areas of the Gaza Strip and not shirking its
duty towards half of the displaced population in Gaza, including those in the
Gaza and northern regions.
