The Government Media Office in Gaza issued the following statement on Resistance News Network, March 3, 2024.
The famine deepens in the Gaza Strip, and the airdrops of aid are useless. We hold the U.S. administration, the international community, and the “israeli” occupation responsible. The famine continues to deepen significantly in the governorates of the Gaza Strip, with 2,4 million people suffering from a severe lack of food. The famine is particularly severe in the governorates of North Gaza and Gaza. This disaster has already led to the martyrdom of 15 children due to hunger, malnutrition and dehydration, threatening the lives of more than 700,000 Palestinian citizens suffering from extreme hunger.

Some countries have attempted to airdrop aid through a few planes, but it is well known that this is not the optimal method to deliver aid to the people of the Gaza Strip.
In this regard, we would like to affirm the following:
In light of all this, we renew full responsibility to the U.S. administration, the international community and the “israeli” occupation for the genocide waged by the occupation against civilians, children and women.
We also hold them responsible for the famine and the enhancement of the starvation policy and for 19 types of crimes against humanity committed by the occupation in the Gaza Strip. We call on all free countries of the world to pressure the occupation to stop the genocide and ethnic cleansing against our Palestinian people, which has claimed more than 100,000 victims, including martyrs, wounded and detainees and to immediately and unconditionally stop the bloodshed against civilians, women and children.
