Dozens of Palestinian institutions in Europe have strongly condemned depriving the sick children in Gaza of their right to medical treatment. The institutions lashed out at the Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) for such a step and called it a crime against humanity. They also demanded the Palestinian Authority (PA) to work on lifting the siege on Gaza.
In a petition on Friday the institutions held the IOA responsible for the safety and lives of the sick people in Gaza. They charged that Israel is accustomed to breaching international laws and charters as well as violating basic human rights guaranteed in international laws and regulations.
The institutions in Europe called on the international community and human rights organizations in addition to medical and relief societies to exert efforts for lifting the Gaza siege. They also asked the PA to cancel its resolutions regarding cutting-off the salaries of its employees in Gaza and hindering the operation of Gaza’s sole power plant.
