UN Official Demands Lifting of Siege and Reconstruction of Gaza.
Pulbished on:
Gaza, 10 February 2015(Lana) A UN official called on Tuesday for
the siege, imposed by the Israeli occupation, to be lifted on Gaza
and the reconstruction of the strip.
'The siege on Gaza has to be lifted, because it massively impacts
medical services and the daily life in the strip, the UN Humanitarian
Affairs Coordinator James Roly said.
He urged donor states to honour their obligations, to fund the
reconstruction effort following the Israeli military aggression in
July and August last year.
Roly appealed to the Egyptian Government to reopen Rafah border
crossing with Gaza, to facilitate movement of those stranded at the
border, especially the ill people, and the entry of humanitarian aid.
