| UN Calls on Israel to Reopen Gaza Border Crossings |
| 2007-06-17 |
| The United Nations yesterday urged Israel to reopen crossings into Gaza to avoid a humanitarian crisis in the impoverished territory sealed off from the world after the takeover by Hamas. “The borders need to be open, we cannot collectively punish 1.5 million people in the Gaza Strip. They are already living in miserable conditions,” John Ging, head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), told AFP. Israel closed all of its border crossing points with Gaza after the Hamas routed Palestinian Authority security services in the impoverished territory. The sealed crossings include the Rafah terminal on the border with Egypt — Gaza’s only window to the outside world that bypasses Israel. |
