Ambassador Al-Emadi urged the international community, the United Nations and all relevant international agencies to fulfill their commitments and pledged to provide the necessary support to the inhabitants of the Gaza Strip to alleviate suffering and humanitarian crises and improve people’s lives, as has been done by Qatar in its promise.

Since last week, the Israeli army has launched attacks in the Gaza Strip, in conjunction with the tightening of the siege that was imposed there.

On Tuesday (August 18), the only power plant in Gaza stopped operating, after the fuel needed to operate it ran out, as a result of Israel preventing fuel from entering the Gaza Strip

This decision was preceded by Israel decision to completely close the sea to fishermen, until further notice, and to close the Kerem Shalom crossing for construction materials and fuel.

Israel says its offensive and tightening siege on Gaza were in response to the launch of incendiary balloons, which caused fires on Israel farmland adjacent to the Strip.

On the other hand, incendiary balloon launchers say they are using them with the aim of forcing Israel to ease the siege on the Gaza Strip in effect since 2007, which has resulted in deteriorating living conditions for residents. (T/Hju/RE1)
