srael Obliterating Gaza's Economy, Says UN
Gaza, Dec 14 (Prensa Latina) The UN Office for the Coordination of
Humanitarian Affairs, OCHA, revealed on Friday that the blockade
imposed on Gaza by Israel for the last six months will cause
irrevocable damage to the economy of that Palestinian region.
This is the third re****t this week questioning the punitive measures on
the 1.5 million people living in the Palestinian autonomy, after
re****ts from the World Bank and the World Health Organization.
The UN do***ent warns that the strict im****t and ex****t restrictions
will bring about devastating consequences to the economy, apart from
the damage to the population, who need more aid than ever.
The re****t says more than half of basic products and food have now
prices higher than the purchasing power of the majority of the
population since hundreds of business went bankrupt and thousands of
people lost their jobs.
The reduction of fuel supply to Gaza, upholds the text, affected all
sectors of the population and basic services such as water are getting
worse and worse.
Likewise, it notes that there is a shortage of medicines and 17 percent
of patients were not allowed to be taken to hospitals out of the region.
The director of Emergencies and Ambulance Service, Moawie Hasanien,
denounded that a greater number of people require urgent assistance and
treatment since they are suffering chronic diseases.
