EuroMid Observer for Human Rights: Slow Death - The Collective Punishment of Gaza Has Reached a Critical Stage

A field report has been issued by the EuroMid Observer for Human Rights in cooperation with the Palestinian Return Centre (PRC) in London and the Malaysian Consultative Council of Islamic Organizations (MAPIM). The report cites re-newed and developing grim realities that are imposed by Israel on Gaza in the form of an illegal blockade since 2006.

This field report recapitulates the most recent crisis in Gaza in light of the political “change” in Egypt which negatively affected Gaza. Over the past two months, the populations of Gaza have faced severe shortages in the basic requirements of living conditions within the health sector as well as all other sectors. The basic food and fuel commodities have been hardly hit as Egypt closed great majority of the tunnels used in smuggling these needs.
