Nasser Kan’ani also considered Zionists’ move to intensify the siege, cutting off water and electricity, and preventing the delivery of food and medicine to Gaza, as a clear example of a war crime and a flagrant violation of international laws and regulations.
He asked international organizations, including the United Nations, to immediately take preventive and effective measures to stop the insane crimes of the Zionist apartheid regime.
Thousands of Palestinians fled the north of the Gaza Strip on Saturday from the path of an expected Israeli ground assault, while Israel pounded the area with more air strikes and said it would keep two roads open to let people escape.
Hamas has told people not to leave and says the two roads Israel has declared open are unsafe. It says dozens of people have been killed in strikes on cars and trucks carrying refugees Friday.
The United Nations says so many people cannot be safely moved inside the besieged enclave without causing a humanitarian disaster. It warned on Saturday of the threat of deadly water-borne disease without urgent deliveries of fuel to power Gaza’s freshwater system.
Hamas has vowed to fight until the last drop of blood and says the order to leave the north of the enclave is a trick to force residents to give up their homes.
