Hamas: Enemy Violations Deepen the Humanitarian Tragedy in Gaza
Hamas stated on Sunday that the Zionist enemy continues its violations in the Gaza Strip in a manner that worsens the humanitarian crisis and exposes civilians’ lives to escalating danger, amid a tightened siege and the obstruction of reconstruction efforts.
The movement’s spokesperson, Hazem Qassem, affirmed that the continued collapse of buildings damaged during the latest war—falling on the heads of those living inside them—reflects the severe deterioration of humanitarian conditions in the Strip.
Qassem said these developments come at a time when the Zionist siege is being intensified, reconstruction efforts are being blocked, and the entry of adequate shelter supplies is being denied, placing residents—especially in devastated areas—at growing risk.
He stressed that the escalation of Zionist violations, “embodied in the daily killing of Palestinian citizens,” as occurred earlier today in the Shuja‘iyya neighborhood east of Gaza City, constitutes “a continuation of the occupation’s breaches of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip.”
He added that these violations “further exacerbate the humanitarian situation” and undermine any talk of a genuine de-escalation or improvement in the living conditions of the population.
Qassem explained that these violations are taking place “at a time when various parties are speaking about consolidating the ceasefire and moving toward the second phase of the agreement to halt the war on Gaza,” considering this to be “a clear reflection of Zionist intent to continue its aggression against our people in the Gaza Strip.”
The Hamas spokesperson called on mediators to “take serious action to curb these violations” and to pressure the Zionist enemy “to begin a real reconstruction process in the Gaza Strip, instead of the continued martyrdom of civilians—whether due to the collapse of bombed buildings, flooding of tents, or death from cold amid the absence of heating means in the Strip.”
The Zionist genocide in Gaza—which lasted two years and ended with a ceasefire agreement that entered into force on 10 October 2025—left more than 70,000 Palestinian martyrs and over 170,000 wounded, most of them women and children, with the cost of reconstruction estimated by the United Nations at around $70 billion.
