Hamas said the United Nations Security Council resolution on Gaza is "an insufficient step," given that it did not include an international resolution to stop the war.
In a statement released on its official website, Hamas said the UN resolution "does not meet the requirements of the catastrophic situation" created by Israel, "especially since it did not include an international resolution to stop the genocidal war waged by the terrorist occupation entity against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip."
Hamas has repeatedly called for Israel to end its military operation in Gaza.
Hamas also slammed the position of the United States, which abstained from the UNSC vote.
"During the past five days, the American administration has worked hard to empty this resolution of its essence, and to issue it in this weak formula," the statement said.
"It is the duty of the UN Security Council to oblige the occupation to bring aid in sufficient quantities into all areas of the Gaza Strip, especially the areas of the northern Gaza Strip," Hamas added, claiming that Israel has caused "daily massacres" in northern Gaza and created conditions for starvation.
Friday’s adopted UNSC resolution comes after reports from the Hamas-run Palestinian health ministry, indicating that over 20,000 people have been killed in Gaza by the Israeli military since October 7.
Simultaneously, a new report from the World Food Programme and other UN agencies reveals that more than one in four households in Gaza currently face extreme hunger. The report warns of an impending famine if the conflict persists.
