World's Largest Concentration Camp Has Milestone
Gaza marks 1000th day of Israeli siege
"Protests against the crippling siege imposed on the Gaza Strip should spread across the world, said Palestinian lawmaker Jamalh Al-Khudari on Sunday, as the blockade enters its 1000th day. "The siege harmed the people, as well as the evironment, health, the economy and social life. It constitutes a serious attempt to suffocate the people and break their will," Al-Khudari told reporters during a news conference.
He announced that 500 Gaza residents have died as a result of the siege, most of whom were patients who could not recieve appropriate medical treatment.
Al-Khudari pointed out that one million Gaza residents live on humanitarian aid channeled by Arab and foreign countries as well as the UN. "The Palestinian economy in Gaza has been completely destroyed with more than 140,000 people unemployed, which amounts to 80% of Gaza’s manpower."It was described as a tyrannical siege that violates international law by Arab and international organizations and governments ... serious pressure must be practiced on the occupation, which is to be held accountable for the situation," he said."
"Died as a result of the siege".
Like this one year old baby with a heart condition, held up for hours in the heat of mid summer at one of the fucking checkpoints, who died in his father's arms in a taxi because the Israelis wouldn't call an ambulance.
