Dozens of children women and farmers in Gaza called on Tuesday on the local and international institutions to immediately intervene to release Mohammed al-Halabi the director of the World Vision’s office in Gaza from Israeli jails.
According to the PIC reporter the protesters raised the flags of Australia and Germany demanding them to intervene to release Halabi.
Tahani Zaqqout the spokesman of the employees suspended from work at World Vision denounced the arrest of the international employee over arbitrary charges in a bid to halt the activities of the international organizations in the Gaza Strip.
Zaqqout called on the international community to immediately intervene to release Halabi from Israeli jails expressing her thanks to both Australia and Germany for their support to the Palestinian people.
She asked the World Vision to track down whoever has a hand in the arrest of its director in Gaza and to continue its charitable work in the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli court charged engineer Halabi with transferring funds to “terrorist organizations” in Gaza. However the Australian courts acquitted him from these charges after examining all financial accounts in the organization.
Zahra Zayed a Gazan child called on the World Vision to re-open its doors in Gaza and continue to provide recreational and charitable services to the children of Gaza. Zayed appealed to the free world to intervene to release the “soft-hearted father” as she described him.
For her part Halabi’s mother told the PIC that her son does not have any activities with the resistance factions in Gaza stressing that he was acquitted by the Australian courts. She asked for his immediate release from Israeli jail.
