Egypt condemns Israel's halt on humanitarian aid to Gaza

Violation of ceasefire and international law

“These measures constitute a flagrant violation of the ceasefire agreement, international humanitarian law, the Fourth Geneva Convention, and all religious laws,” Egypt said in a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigration on Sunday.

No justification for starvation as a weapon

Cairo stressed that there is no justification or logic that allows the use of starving innocent civilians and imposing a siege on them, especially during the holy fasting month of Ramadan, as a weapon against the Palestinian people.

Call for international action

Egypt called on the international community to assume its responsibilities to stop all illegal and inhumane practices targeting civilians as well as to condemn attempts to achieve political goals through endangering the lives of innocent people.
