Gaza under Siege
December 29, 2009
One year has passed in 22 day Israeli aggression in Gaza war but the Gaza siege is still carry on. Gaza is world largest open air prison and very little transportation of goods was transported though Egypt. Israel and Egypt both block the transportation of goods to Gaza. No one allow to in and out from Gaza.Gazans relay on Egypt but Egypt has also put heavy restriction on Rafah crossing point and going to built underground barriers to stop Gaza tunnels that was source of communication and transportation with the world. Gaza blockade has stop all type of communication with the world, food and water shortage are the serious issues of the Gazans.Gazans faces humanitarian cirissis,More then 80% of the Gazans lived on the UN and other agencies aid. Gaza partially blockade is carry on since September but it increased after Gaza war.Isreal allowed only 41 trucks to enter into Gaza since January.

There is no proper medication and health treatment. The UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has express unease over the worsening humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip as a result of the stringent Israeli siege. He told that the situation in Gaza is still a cause for concern, adding that he was “seriously working with the Israeli leadership” but no progress was made so far. The UN top official said that he would continue to pressure the Israeli government to finance the rebuilding of UNRWA facilities destroyed in the latest Israel war on Gaza.

Israel is still responsible for Gaza an occupied power. Aid agencies have opinion that world has failed to stop Gaza blockade and betrayed the common citizen.Isreale must ends its collective punishment to Gazans.Most Israeli said that Gaza war was a necessary defensive action but in reality it was offensive action. Gaza war has badly hurt Israeli image in the world and in Goldstone report there is clearly mention that Israel failed to protect the common citizen. If world want to bring a fundamental change in its ideas then they must give them more option. There is wrong perception that by pressure they can change the ideas of Hamas. Force and war is not solution of any issue. Gaza siege creates more problems for the common citizen and peaceful solution of the Palestinian issue.
