Amjad Shawa, director of the Palestinian NGO Network in Gaza, warned that famine is already underway as food distribution centers close and essential supplies run out due to prolonged blockade and disrupted aid, attributing the crisis to policies aimed at undermining Gaza's social fabric.

Amjad Shawa, director of the Palestinian NGO Network (PNGO), called for collective opposition to the new Israeli regulations on humanitarian aid distribution. He argued that these restrictions are designed to prevent accountability and stifle criticism of Israel’s actions in Gaza and the West Bank.

In October 2023, Palestinian NGO Network (PNGO) issued a public statement in the aftermath of a brutal attack, demanding national unity and international accountability for what it describes as a long-standing racist and fascist occupation. The statement calls for robust international protection of the Palestinian people and openly condemns policies supporting the occupation.

The Palestinian NGO Network, representing 150 local NGOs, warned that continued blockade and restrictions imposed by Israeli occupation forces on Gaza will lead to severe humanitarian, economic, and social damage, exacerbating poverty, food insecurity, and limited access to essential services.

The Palestinian NGO Network has issued a call for international, civil society, and donor pressure on the Israeli occupation to lift the blockade on the Gaza Strip, highlighting the severe humanitarian, economic, and social repercussions faced by the residents of Gaza.
