The declaration highlighted the immediate threat of famine, particularly to Palestinian children, with approximately 3,500 at risk of death due to severe malnutrition and lack of medical supplies.

The media office emphasized the widespread suffering across Gaza, exacerbated by a 40-day total closure of crossings leading to severe shortages in local markets.

It described the blockade as a deliberate policy targeting vulnerable groups, including children and patients, denying them essential food, medicine, nutritional supplements, and vaccinations crucial for survival.
