Hamas Blames Israel for Prisoners’ Fate Amid Gaza Humanitarian Crisis

Gaza, Hamas has held Israel fully responsible for the fate of prisoners in Gaza after Israel imposed a blockade on humanitarian aid, citing disputes over a ceasefire extension.

Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem stated, “The occupying entity [Israel] bears full responsibility for the consequences of its actions on Gaza’s population and its captives.” The statement comes as negotiations remain deadlocked and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens.

Israel’s decision to halt humanitarian aid has intensified concerns among international organizations, with warnings of severe consequences for civilians. The blockade is seen as an attempt to pressure Hamas into accepting ceasefire terms, which remain a major point of contention.

Global humanitarian agencies and political leaders have urged immediate action to resume aid deliveries and prevent further escalation. The situation remains critical as diplomatic efforts to broker a truce continue. Observers are closely watching for any developments that could shift the dynamics of the ongoing conflict.
