Palestinian National Council Calls For Urgent Relief For Gaza Strip

RAMALLAH, June 22 (Bernama-QNA) -- The Palestinian National Council (PNC) on Sunday called on international, regional, and Arab parliaments to take urgent action to protect the Palestinian people and provide urgent relief to the Gaza Strip amid the worsening humanitarian disaster resulting from the ongoing Israeli aggression.

Qatar News Agency reported that PNC Speaker Rawhi Fattouh emphasised that the Gaza Strip is witnessing unprecedented humanitarian conditions, including mass deaths from bombing, hunger, thirst, displacement, lack of treatment, and the complete collapse of the health system.

Fattouh pointed out that all cities and towns in the Gaza Strip, from Rafah to Beit Hanoun, from Gaza to Khan Yunis, have become a disaster zone, overcrowded with displaced people who are being hunted by death even in their makeshift shelters and at food distribution centres, which have turned into direct targets for killing.

The PNC Speaker called for the urgent enactment of emergency legislation to allocate symbolic amounts equivalent to the cost of a meal, a litre of water, or a box of medicine, with the aim of saving the lives of children, the elderly, and women suffering from hunger, illness, cold, and heat.
