00:00 Palestinians in Syria are ready to help their compatriots in Gaza to live through the difficult
00:05 situation caused by more than five months of Israeli attacks.
00:09 Our correspondent in Syria Hisham Wanos with the story.
00:19 Although they are living Ramadan in the midst of an acute economic crisis resulting from
00:23 the war and the blockade, the Palestinians living in Syria, like their Syrian brothers,
00:27 are ready to offer everything they have to ease the suffering of their compatriots who
00:32 are besieged in Gaza.
00:34 This was stated by the residents of the Al-Yarmouk Palestinian refugee camp south of Damascus,
00:39 in condemnation of the Israeli war of starvation which has now ceased for more than five months
00:44 against Gaza.
00:45 We are very saddened by the dire situation of our brothers in Gaza and we are overwhelmed
00:54 by what they are suffering as a result of war, starvation and displacement after having
00:59 lost their homes and we hope we can help them and we pray to God to have mercy on them.
01:07 We demand that the world community, the United Nations and all international humanitarian
01:11 organizations assume their responsibilities and stop the genocidal Israeli war against
01:16 our Palestinian people who are dying of hunger and thirst in addition to the bombings because
01:21 they are exercising their right to defend their homeland and their holy places.
01:32 The arrival of the Holy Ramadan in Gaza coincides with the critical situation of more than 2.2
01:37 million inhabitants of this coastal enclave, victims of an Israeli war of extermination,
01:43 a humanitarian crisis which, in view of the closure of the land crossings, some states
01:48 are trying to alleviate with the air droppings of humanitarian aid over the Strip, at a time
01:53 when Washington proposed the construction of a temporary seaport which the Palestinians
01:58 denounced under the false excuse of facilitating the entry of humanitarian aid it would serve
02:03 to fulfill Tel Aviv's plan to move the Gazans by sea to Cyprus.
02:12 The temporary seaport proposed by Biden for the supposed entry of humanitarian aid in
02:17 Gaza is nothing more than a trick that will not be able to fool us, because after falling
02:23 to move the inhabitants of Gaza to Egypt, now they try to move them by sea under the
02:29 false humanitarian excuse, and this is a plan that will not succeed.
02:35 This port is part of the Zionist plan to exterminate and forcibly displace the Palestinian people
02:40 of Gaza to Europe and displace the Palestinians of the West Bank to Jordan and Egypt, but
02:46 we assure you that this plan will fail and our Palestinian people will remain attached
02:50 to their homeland in occupied Palestine.
02:57 The Israeli war also caused the total or partial destruction of more than 500 mosques in Gaza.
03:03 This damage added to the famine, massacres, displacement and siege turned Gaza into a
03:07 ruined place requiring dozens of years of work to rebuild it and restore the normal
03:12 course of its life, including the customary celebrations of Ramadan, as practiced in the
03:16 rest of the Muslim world.
