22 European diplomats to pop in Gaza

Monday 7-November-2016

Ambassadors from 22 European states are expected to reach the blockaded Gaza Strip via the Beit Hanun (Erez) border-crossing on Tuesday.

Speaking with the PIC International Relations Council Chief Bassem Na’im said the visit makes part of underway efforts to keep a close eye on the dire living and socio-economic conditions endured by the Palestinians in the blockaded coastal enclave.

Na’im hailed the projected visit which he said falls in line with the international community’s awareness of the tragic fallout of the Israeli siege on Gaza.

According to Na’im any reluctance as the regards the humanitarian crisis in Gaza will trigger an explosion not only in the Palestinian territories but in the entire Middle East region.

Over recent years a bundle of international and field reports sounded the alarm over the critical nosedive in Gazans’ purchasing power and living standards.
