They serve as\u2062 our \u200bprotection against aerial attacks, as we fight from within them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Marzouk \u2062also seemed to suggest that Israel shared a similar responsibility \u2064in providing shelter for civilians.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;According to the Geneva \u200dConventions,\u200b it is the duty of the occupying force to provide all necessary services to the civilians\u2064 as long as they are under occupation,&#8221; Marzouk \u200casserted.<\/p>\n<h3>Criticism of \u200cHamas&#8217; Treatment of Gazan Civilians<\/h3>\n<p>Hamas has frequently faced criticism for its apparent\u2063 disregard for the well-being of innocent \u2064Gazan civilians.<\/p>\n<p>The group has gained notoriety for using civilians as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/u-s-and-european-government-leaders-slam-icc-investigation-into-israel\/\" title=\"U.S. and European Government Leaders Slam ICC Investigation into Israel\">human shields<\/a>, prompting \u200blawmakers to recently <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/latest-news\/after-hamas-strike-congress-wants-to-sanction-terror-groups-use-of-human-shields\/\">introduce<\/a> \u2064 legislation to impose\u2063 sanctions\u200b on the \u2063terrorist organization for exploiting civilians.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, the Israel Defense Forces released an <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/latest-news\/listen-gazan-man-says-hamas-is-shooting-at-civilians-who-try-to-evacuate\/\">audio\u2063 clip<\/a> purportedly\u2063 featuring a Gazan civilian informing an Israeli military officer that Hamas was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-hamas-official-says-group-doesnt-give-civilians-shelter-because-thats-the-uns-job\/\" title=\"Hamas official claims UN should protect civilians, not us.\">targeting civilians attempting<\/a> to evacuate \u200dfrom dangerous areas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How \u200dcan the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/libya-militia-blocks-key-oil-fields-production-drops-330k-barrels-day\/\" title=\"Libya: Militia Blocks Key Oil Fields, Production Drops 330K Barrels\/Day\">dire living conditions<\/a> in Gaza, resulting from the Israeli blockade, be addressed to provide a \u200bsafer environment for civilian populations<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Es,&#8221; the Hamas \u200bofficial said. &#8220;And it is the responsibility of the United Nations to ensure\u200d their \u200csafety and\u200b protect them from any harm.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The statement \u2062comes as the\u200b conflict \u200bbetween Israel and \u2062Hamas continues to escalate, with Israeli airstrikes \u200dtargeting militant\u200d positions and Hamas launching\u2063 rockets into Israeli territory. The civilian\u2064 population in Gaza\u2062 has been \u200bcaught in\u200d the crossfire, facing \u2064airstrikes that have claimed the lives\u2064 of many\u200b innocent men, women, and children.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2063 Hamas official emphasized that \u200cthe group\u200d does not\u200c have the \u200dmeans or resources to provide shelter \u2064for civilians. Their focus, he stated,\u200d is on military\u200d operations and defending the\u200d Palestinian people against Israeli aggression. It is the role of the\u2062 United Nations, as\u200b an\u2063 international body responsible \u200bfor the protection of civilians, to step in and\u200c ensure the safety of the people in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>While Hamas has been \u2062criticized\u200c for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hamas-fires-rockets-targeting-half-a-million-people-in-tel-aviv\/\" title=\"Hamas Fires Rockets Targeting Half A Million People In Tel Aviv\">launching rockets<\/a>\u2064 from civilian \u2062areas, the official pointed\u2063 out that the \u200cdire living conditions in the Gaza Strip leave civilians with no choice but to seek refuge in these areas. The densely\u2064 populated enclave has been under \u200dIsraeli \u200cblockade for over a decade, resulting\u200d in limited access to basic services such as healthcare, clean \u2064water, and electricity. As a result, many residential areas have become\u200c makeshift shelters, \u2064and civilians\u2063 have no other option but \u200dto endure the constant threat of violence.<\/p>\n<p>The official further criticized the lack\u2064 of action from\u200d the international community in \u200dholding \u2062Israel accountable for its \u2064actions. He highlighted the numerous United Nations resolutions that \u200dhave been passed\u200b condemning Israel&#8217;s occupation and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/haley-blasts-aoc-over-israel-resolution-you-would-fit-great-with-the-anti-semites-at-u-n\/\" title=\"Haley slams AOC on Israel resolution: 'You align with U.N.'s anti-Semites'.\">human \u200brights violations<\/a>, yet no concrete steps have been taken to address the issue.<\/p>\n<p>He \u2063urged the United Nations to take immediate \u200baction to protect Gazan\u200d civilians, calling\u2062 for\u200b the implementation of effective \u2063measures\u2063 and sanctions against Israel. He \u200bemphasized that the international community cannot continue to remain silent and overlook \u200cthe suffering of the Palestinian people.<\/p>\n<p>The official\u2064 also called on the international community to hold Israel accountable for\u200c its disproportionate use of\u200c force and\u200c to demand an end to \u2062the \u2063collective punishment of the Palestinian population. He highlighted \u200cthe need for a just\u200d and lasting solution that respects the rights and dignity of all parties involved.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the\u2062 Hamas official\u2064 reiterated that the United Nations bears the responsibility of protecting Gazan civilians, as it is an obligation under international law. He called on the international community to take immediate \u200baction \u2062to fulfill\u200d this duty and halt the escalating\u200c violence against innocent civilians. The plight of the Palestinian \u2064people cannot be ignored \u2064any longer, and it is\u200b time for the world to unite in ending their\u200c suffering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Hamas official stated that they do not provide shelter to Gazan civilians as it is the UN&#8217;s duty to protect them.
