The Islamist Hamas group in the Gaza Strip has called on Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims across the world to demonstrate over the weekend for the Rafah border crossing to Egypt to open and allow urgently needed aid, medicine and fuel deliveries.

Dozens of trucks carrying drinking water, food and medicine have entered the Rafah border crossing since Saturday, but the United Nations states that around 100 truckloads are needed per day to provide for the over 2.2 million people in the Gaza Strip.

Hamas' statement, released on Thursday, also demanded an end to Israel's "genocidal war" on the Gaza Strip.

A similar call by Hamas two weeks ago led to massive protests in neighbouring countries of Israel, including Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan. In Germany, several pro-Palestinian demonstrations were banned in multiple cities due to security concerns.

Terrorists from Gaza carried out a massacre of civilians in Israel nearly three weeks ago. More than 1,400 people in Israel lost their lives in the attack and subsequent days. Militants kidnapped over 220 individuals. Since then, Israel's air force has been targeting hundreds of locations in the densely populated coastal area, resulting in the deaths of over 7,000 people, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, which is controlled by Hamas.
