Could it be any clearer that Israel’s war is against the Palestinian people themselves?
Poverty in the Gaza Strip has tripled this year under the Israeli blockade, according to the UN agency helping refugees living there.
John Ging, the head of the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) in Gaza, told reporters on Thursday that the number of Gazans considerered “abject poor” had tripled to 300,000 this year, equal to one in five Gazans.
Ging described the situation in the narrow and overcrowded Palestinian territory as “unbearable” and as a “man-made crisis”, calling on Israel to ease its siege immediately.
