| CARE International UK along with Amnesty International UK, CAFOD, Christian Aid, Médecins du Monde UK, Oxfam, Save The Children UK and Trócaire have issued a PRESS RELEASE on the current situation in the Gaza Strip. The humanitarian situation in Gaza is worse now than it’s been at any time since the beginning of the Israeli occupation in 1967, according to a new report published today (6 March) by a coalition of leading humanitarian and human rights organisations. The weekend’s upsurge in violence and human misery underlines the urgency of this report. In their new joint report, the coalition - comprising Amnesty International, CARE International UK, CAFOD, Christian Aid, Médecins du Monde UK, Oxfam, Save The Children UK and Trócaire - warns that Israel’s blockade of Gaza is a collective punishment of the entire Gazan civilian population of 1.5 million. The report concludes that the Israeli government’s policy of blockade is unacceptable, illegal and fails to deliver security for Palestinians and Israelis alike. | ||||
| The Gaza Strip: a Humanitarian Implosion |
West Bank & Gaza |
|||
| CARE International UK, Amnesty International UK, CAFOD, Christian Aid, Médecins du Monde UK, Oxfam, Save The Children UK and Trócaire have issued a new report on the current situation in Gaza. The Report - The Gaza Strip: A Humanitarian Implosion - finds that the situation for 1.5 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip is worse now than it has even been since the start of the Israeli military occupation in 1967. The current situation in Gaza is man-made, completely avoidable and, with the necessary political will, can also be reversed. Gaza has suffered from a long term pattern of economic stagnation and plummeting development indicators. The severity of the situation has increased exponentially since Israel imposed extreme restrictions on the movement of good and people in response to the Hamas take over of Gaza and to indiscriminate rocket attacks on Israel. This report illustrates the gravity of the current situation across key sectors. | ||||
