GAZA (PIC)– The government committee for breaking the siege and receiving delegates has appealed to the participants in the 13th summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) being held in Istanbul to put the issue of Gaza siege high on their agenda.
“It is no longer acceptable for the Gaza Strip to be under ongoing blockade for more than 10 years with no Muslim and Arab country moving to break it although Palestine is a member of the organization” the committee stated in a press release.
“It has been over 500 days since the Rafah border crossing was closed in October 2014 and it was opened for 31 days exceptionally during that period including eight days in one direction four days for pilgrims and some days for the entry of dead bodies which has made the Strip live in complete isolation from the world” the committee added.
