Palestinian Health Minister in Gaza: Lift Siege or Patients May Die

24/09/2013

GAZA, (Agencies)

fter the new Egyptian government decided to close the Rafah

border crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian

population of Gaza has faced a worsening health crisis due to lack of

medicine and equipment.

The Palestinian Minister of Health in Gaza reported on Monday that

hospitals throughout the Gaza Strip are running dangerously low on

lifesaving medications and equipment. Of the medicines on the

essential drugs list, said Dr Mofeed Mokhalalati, 45 items have

completely run out.

Dr Mokhalalati urged the international community to put pressure on

both Israel and Egypt to lift the siege that has put a stranglehold on the

economy of Gaza since 2007. In addition, he called on the International

A


13/15

Committee of the Red Cross, the UN Organisation for the Co-ordination

of Humanitarian Affairs and the World Health Organisation to intervene.

After the 2011 revolution in Egypt, there was some easing of the siege

from the Egyptian side, but the new Egyptian government that took overwhen Mohammed Morsi stepped down several months ago reinstated

the closure of the Rafah border crossing, which had become the only

means of entrance or egress for the vast majority of Gaza residents.

The borders with Israel remain closed, with only a trickle of commercial

goods allowed through the Karam Salam crossing in the eastern Gaza

Strip. Exporting of Gazan goods is a virtual impossibility, and the

economy of Gaza has suffered a disastrous decline as a result.

The statement by Dr. Dr Mofeed Mokhalalati, the Gazan Health Minister,

also noted that there are around 1,300 patients who are in Gaza

awaiting treatment in Egypt. They have been unable to exit since the

Rafah crossing was closed.

Since Israel destroyed one of Gaza's only two power plants in 2007, and

the Israeli government has since that time prevented the import of

materials to construct a new one, rationing of electricity has become a

daily routine of life for the residents of the Gaza Strip indeed, for six

year old children, it is the only life they have ever known.

Close to one half of the Gaza Strip's 1.5 million residents are children

under the age of eighteen.

Increase in Settler Israeli Attacks in Occupied PalestinianTerritory: UN OCHA

Palestinian Territories (OCHA-OPT) has recorded at least ten

settler-related incidents resulting in injury to Palestinians or damage totheir property between 10-16 September 2013 OCHA.

In its 'Protection of Civilians Weekly Report | 10 - 16 September 2013',

says this is an increase in incidents compared to a weekly average of four

in the past three weeks, WAM reported.

OCHA is the part of the United Nations Secretariat responsible forbringing together humanitarian actors to ensure a coherent response to

emergencies.

Large-scale demolitions in several locations; an entire community

displaced On 16 September, the Israeli authorities demolished all

residential and livelihood structures (except two fodder storage rooms

and a solar panel) in the Bedouin community of Mak-hul in the Jordan

Valley due to the lack of Israeli-issued building permits. The 58structures, included ten residential tents, 28 animal shacks and pens,

nine kitchens, nine latrines, a storage room and a zinc shade that was

used as a kindergarten (which was partially demolished). Some of these

structures were funded by international donors.

As a result, ten families comprising 48 people, including 16 children,

were displaced.

In the course of the demolitions, a number of animal troughs and small

water tanks as well as personal belongings were buried under the

rubble.

OCHA says on 17 September, Israeli forces shot and killed a 19-year old

Palestinian man during clashes that erupted in a search-and-arrest

operation in Jenin refugee camp.

In Gaza Strip, while there was relative calm during the reporting period,with no reports of Israeli airstrikes or Palestinian rockets, incidents in the

context of Israeli restrictions on Palestinian access to land and at sea

continued.

On at least two occasions, Israeli forces stationed near the fence

between Israel and the Gaza Strip opened warning fire at farmers,

forcing them to leave their land. No injuries or damage to property were

reported. Israeli forces also conducted three land-leveling operations.


15/15

On 12 September, a female Israeli settler was injured after Palestinians

threw stones at her vehicle while travelling near Beit Ummar (Hebron).

Three Palestinian-plated vehicles sustained damage in two additional

stone-throwing incidents perpetrated by settlers near Al Mughayyirvillage and Al Jalazun refugee camp (both in Ramallah).

Also on 10 September, a group of Israeli settlers slashed the tires of

three Palestinian buses in Ath Thuri (Jerusalem) and sprayed "price-tag"

graffiti on them.

MP Khudari: Allowing Some Shipments of Goods into Gaza is

not Enough

22/09/2013

(Agencies)

ead of the popular committee against the siege MP Jamal Al-

Khudari said that the entry of limited shipments of construction

materials to the Gaza Strip through the Israeli-controlled crossing Karam

Abu Salem is an insufficient step.

Khudari stated on Sunday that his committee works diligently to break

the Israeli blockade on Gaza and have all crossings opened without any

restrictions on the quantities and amounts of things allowed in.

The lawmaker affirmed that the shipments of construction materials

which Israel intends to allow into Gaza cover only 20 percent of the vital

projects needed by Gaza and thus the problem is still unresolved.

In a related context, the ad hoc committee designated to coordinate the

entry of goods into Gaza said that the Israeli occupation authority (IOA)

would allow 410 trucks loaded with building materials to cross into Gaza.

Ra'ed Fattouh, head of the committee, stated that the construction materials would

be allocated for the private sector and for the establishment of projects by

international institutions, noting that limited shipments of fuel for different uses

would be allowed in as well.
