Egypt condemns Israel's decision to halt humanitarian aid to Gaza and close relief crossings. The Egyptian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the move violates the ceasefire agreement, international humanitarian law, and the Fourth Geneva Convention. It also contradicts all religious principles. Egypt stressed that no justification exists for starving civilians or imposing a blockade, especially during Ramadan. Cairo urged the international community to act against illegal and inhumane practices targeting civilians. It called for the condemnation of attempts to achieve political goals at the expense of innocent lives. Attribution: Amwal Al Ghad English Subediting: M. S. Salama
