Sheikh Mohammad Ahmed Hussein, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and the Palestinian Territories and head of the Palestinian Supreme Fatwa Council, has called for urgent international and Arab action to provide relief to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and deliver humanitarian assistance to ease their suffering amid severe rainfall and flash floods that have swept through displacement camps and flooded tens of thousands of tents.

In a statement issued on Thursday, Hussein highlighted the worsening humanitarian catastrophe facing displaced Palestinians amid the widespread destruction of homes and infrastructure caused by Israel’s war of extermination, the continued blockade, the closure of border crossings and the obstruction of essential aid and supplies.
The Jerusalem Mufti condemned ongoing violations against the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, occupied Jerusalem and Palestinian territories, as well as attacks by settlers in various governorates of the West Bank, which he said were taking place under the protection of the occupation authorities. He held the authorities fully responsible for these attacks and their consequences.
He also called for strengthening the resilience of Palestinians as they face attacks targeting their lives, holy sites, property, livestock and agricultural crops.
