Putin: Gaza is experiencing a humanitarian catastrophe in the full sense of the word
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The Gaza Strip is experiencing a humanitarian catastrophe in the full sense of the word, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on May 10.
Tell Hamas to open their overstuffed warehouses full of stolen humanitarian supplies. That’ll take care of the problem.
At a meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the Kremlin, the head of the Russian state stated that Moscow is concerned about the situation in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict zone, is monitoring its development and is providing assistance to the Palestinian people.

"We are following with concern and empathy the tragic events in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict zone, which have claimed the lives of more than 51,000 people.
So the Hamas official claims. No way of knowing if it’s true, but repeated analysis shows they definitely lie about how many of that number are fighters versus civilians.
Tensions are also growing on the West Bank. The Gaza Strip is experiencing a humanitarian catastrophe in the full sense of the word," Putin said.

The President also noted that the situation in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict zone continues to deteriorate, and a sustainable settlement of the conflict is only possible on the basis of the two-state principle. Putin suggested that Abbas discuss possible additional steps by Russia that would contribute to de-escalation of the conflict.

Abbas, in turn, thanked Putin for his political support for Palestine and the supply of humanitarian aid. He stressed that he is categorically against US President Donald Trump's idea of ​​resettling Palestinians from Gaza as a "way" to resolve the conflict.
They’re in no way related to the Arab population in the West Bank, so he doesn’t care that they have minimal food, no power, clean water, or sanitation, and no roofs over their heads. Though to be fair, only the food and roofs are new — the problems with power, water, and sanitation go back for years.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, Putin previously noted that peace in the Middle East cannot be restored as long as historical injustice against Palestine persists.

The President pointed out that the key condition for peace in the region is the implementation of the two-state formula (Israeli and Palestinian), previously approved by the UN Security Council and General Assembly resolutions.
But rejected by Israel so long as the PLO or Hamas are the counterparties, so the UN’s opinion simply does not matter. Come back in a generation or two, and we’ll see if their attitude has improved.
The President also stated that Russia will do everything possible to resolve the grave and long-standing Middle East crisis.
That’s nice.
Earlier in May, Gaza Health Ministry Director General Munir al-Barash noted that the critical food shortage and lack of access to clean drinking water among residents of the sector allowed the UN to officially recognize the enclave as a famine zone.

#1 To have humanitarian catastrophe, you must have humans.

#2 Isn't there some adage about the "mote in your eye"?
