Committee: Urgent action should be made over abject situation in Gaza

Humanitarian crises Gaza Strip

The Popular Committee to Lift the Siege on Gaza has called upon the international community to find practical solutions to the humanitarian crises rocking the besieged Gaza Strip.

Jamal al-Khudari, from the popular anti-siege committee, said Gazans are enduring a calamitous humanitarian situation due to the 12-year-long Israeli blockade, which needs urgent action.

“International warnings as regards the situation in Gaza should be translated into projects on the ground”, he said.

“By 2020 Gaza will be an uninhabitable zone”, warned al-Khudari.”The international community should force Israel to lift its illegal and immoral siege.”

A few hours earlier, the United Nation’s political chief Rosemary DiCarlo warned that the humanitarian situation in the blockaded Gaza Strip has further deteriorated as the enclave has been under blockade for more than a decade.
