UNRWA: Israel`s Siege of Gaza Breeds Human Suffering
of "indiscriminate" and "illegal" Israeli sanctions in Gaza.
Gaza`s director of operations for the refugee agency UNRWA, John Ging said that "crushing sanctions" imposed since the Israeli cabinet declared the Strip a "hostile entity" in September had contributed to "truly appalling living conditions." Ging said said:"Citing cuts in fuel and planned cuts in electricity along with closures which have had "an atrocious" impact on Palestinian medical care, "destroyed" Gaza`s economy.
He said that 649 Palestinians had been killed this year, including 63 children.
Ging added that UNRWA was unable to provide more than 61 per cent of the necessary calories to refugees. "At present we do not have sufficient funding to provide just one high nutrient biscuit to 200,000 children in UN schools."
The Israeli branch of Physicians for Human Rights says that 11 patients have died since last month because their treatment was blocked or delayed. At least 800 more are being denied treatment abroad.
