According to a statement from the Palestinian Resistance Committees released today (Thursday), the right to medical treatment is not a privilege or a tool of pressure; it is a fundamental right essential for saving lives. The ongoing delay by the occupying regime is a blatant violation of the mechanisms established in the ceasefire agreement.
The Committees further emphasized that the complete blockade and military control over the passenger list at the Rafah crossing is a systematic effort to render the Gaza Strip uninhabitable and undermine international relief efforts.In this statement the U.S. government is identified as responsible for the current critical situation and the systematic violations by the Israeli regime at Rafah. This includes non-compliance with established quotas physical and psychological abuse harsh interrogations threats to travelers and extortion by lawless agents collaborating with the Israelis.
The Palestinian Resistance Committees urged mediators and guarantor countries to take immediate action to halt these violations and compel the occupying regime to fully reopen the Rafah crossing in accordance with international law as well as to implement the second phase of the agreement which includes the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.
