The ICRC said that the Israeli closures are causing an enormous humanitarian crisis in the besieged Gaza.
CAIRO — The dignity of the Palestinians is being trampled underfoot day after day by Israel's harsh security measures which are causing an enormous humanitarian cost in the occupied territories, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has said in a new report.
"The Palestinian territories face a deep human crisis, where millions of people are denied their human dignity. Not once in a while, but every day," said the strongly-worded report highlighted by The Independent on Friday, December 14.
"Rules can change from one day to the next without notice or explanation.
"They live in an arbitrary environment, continuously adapting to circumstances they cannot influence and that increasingly reduce the range of their possibilities."
The ICRC said Israel's closures of Gaza's crossings since Hamas's takeover prevented 823 sick Palestinians from leaving the besieged strip for treatment.
"Three of these cases, in which the ICRC had directly intervened, had subsequently died because of administrative and security clearance delays," said the report, which was released on Thursday, December 13.
Nael Al-Kurdi, 20, died last month of cancer, becoming the fifth patient to die that month because of the Israeli closure of the impoverished coastal territory.
Israel closed Gaza's main crossing since Hamas seized control of the impoverished strip in June, citing security concerns.
"The balance between [Israel's] legitimate security concerns and the right of the Palestinian people to live a normal life has not been struck," said the ICRC.
Humanitarian Crisis
The ICRC said that the Israeli closures are causing an enormous humanitarian crisis in the besieged Gaza.
"Gazans are getting increasingly anxious as shelves in grocery shops begin to empty because of the closure," it said.
"Prices have skyrocketed, and the little that comes in to Gaza is virtually unaffordable."
The Israeli closures have cost some 80,000 Gazans to lose their jobs since June, according to the World Food Program.
Many local industries also had to shut down due to lack of raw materials because of the Israeli closures.
"Gaza farmers remember how green and fertile their land was in the recent past. Rich harvests from their citrus and olive trees were exported to the West Bank and Israel," said the ICRC report.
"Today, a large part of their land has been leveled and their trees uprooted during the frequent military incursions."
Palestinian farmers have lamented that their luscious, perfectly ripened strawberry crop is being left to rot rather than being shipped to European markets as usual because of the Israeli closures.
"The infrastructure of the Gaza Strip is in a fragile state," said the ICRC report.
"Basic services such as hospitals, water and sewerage systems can only function if they are connected to the electrical grid. If the grid fails to provide the required power, all basic services will suffer."
Powerless
The ICRC said that the humanitarian situation in the West Bank, controlled by the Palestinian Authority of President Mahmoud Abbas, is also deteriorating day by day.
"Palestinians stand by powerlessly as their land is confiscated," it said.
"Over the years, Israeli settlements and roads have expanded, taking over more and more of the land that the same families have cultivated for generations."
It said that large tracts of Palestinian farming lands are being confiscated for the construction of the internationally condemned separation wall, which sneaks through vast swathes of Palestinian territories, preempting the borders of a long-awaited Palestinian state.
"During the summer, farmers helplessly watched as wild fires destroyed olive trees isolated behind the Barrier.
"They were barred from the area because the gate was not scheduled to open or they lacked the appropriate permit. Some of the trees had taken over fifty years to grow – two generations of labor and care lost in one night," the report said.
In a report to be presented to a donors' conference on Monday, December 17, the World Bank said that the Israeli restrictions were blocking efforts to revive the shattered Palestinian economy.
It said that Israel's lifting of trade and travel restrictions could make the difference between continued economic stagnation and double-digit growth.
During the conference, Abbas-appointed Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad will ask donors to provide about $5.5 billion in aid over three years to strengthen the cash-strapped Palestinian Authority.
The World Bank said that the recovery of the Palestinian economy is dependent on Gaza, which represents about 40 percent of the population, calling it "an essential part" of the economy.

Simply to say in Gaza is going genocide, massacre and holocaust. The western media is quiet and silent as "Israel" has right to defend itself" but Palestinians hasn´t. Also as Zionist rabbis says Torah permits killing Palestinian civilians.
Jews are not same than zionists. Jewism is religion, zionism is sickness.

:salam2: I think the reason right now the christians and the jews are buddies cause the christians believe that when israel will be made Jesus will return. And so they both are using each other.
