A senior official at the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) on Saturday asked the Palestinian Authority leadership PLO executive committee and the PA Council of Ministers to support and aid the families of martyrs and wounded.
Mahmoud Khalaf a DFLP central committee member said “The families of martyrs have been asking for their rights for two years and still they did not get what they are asking for”.
Speaking on behalf of the national and Islamic forces Khalaf pointed out that Families of the Wounded and Martyrs Association should live up to its role of helping and aiding the families of wounded and martyrs regardless of their factional affiliation.
He said that the Palestinian political division had led to the loss of many martyrs’ families rights especially after the 2008 Israeli war on Gaza.
Although many conferences were held for donors to rebuild Gaza yet the families of martyrs did not receive any aid Khalaf said during a ceremony organized to mark the Palestinian Martyr’s Day.
