Hamas accuses Israel of delaying Gaza relief

The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) on Sunday accused Israel of delaying the Gaza relief and reconstruction process despite the implementation of the ceasefire agreement.

He called on the mediators and guarantors of the ceasefire agreement to compel Israel to urgently allow the entry of relief materials as stipulated in the agreement, especially tents, fuel, food supplies and heavy machinery, and to halt all other violations and transgressions.

Hamas and Israel agreed on a ceasefire deal, mediated by Qatar, Egypt and the United States, on Jan. 9.

The agreement is divided into three phases. The first phase, lasting 42 days, involves the release of 33 Israeli hostages and over 1,890 Palestinian prisoners. Negotiations for the next phases are still going on․
