UN coordinator Japanese ambassador pop in blockaded Gaza

Monday 3-July-2017

The United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Nickolay Mladenov and the Japanese ambassador for Palestinian Affairs Takeshi Okubo arrived in Gaza via Beit Hanun (Erez) border crossing at noontime Monday.

A PIC news correspondent said Mladenov and Okuba reached Gaza in separate trips.

The Japanese envoy will keep tabs on his country’s projects in Gaza.

Mladenov who popped in the Strip with a number of delegates is expected to receive a reply by Hamas over an initiative to work out the power crisis.

Last week Mladenov met with Hamas political bureau chairman Ismail Haneyya over the power crisis and the reluctance of the Palestinian Authority chaired by Mahmoud Abbas to transfer Gazan patients to hospitals outside of Gaza.
