MP Khudari: Israel bars fuel shipments to Gaza for 3rd day running

Tuesday 16-October-2018

MP Jamal al-Khudari head of the Popular Committee against the Siege has accused the Israeli occupation state of persisting in banning the entry of fuel and cooking gas shipments to the Gaza Strip for the third consecutive day warning that such practice would compound the humanitarian suffering of the population.

In a press release on Tuesday Khudari affirmed that the fuel crisis which homes hospitals bakeries and factories suffer from nowadays would largely exacerbate as a result of this Israeli ban.

He also pointed out to the worsening economic conditions of the population of Gaza saying that 85 percent of the population live below the poverty line and 350000 citizens are unemployed.
