GAZA (PIC)– The UNRWA has called for the re-opening of all crossings linking Gaza to the outside world to facilitate entry of goods and movement of civilians in and out of the tiny Strip.
John Ging the director of UNRWA operations in Gaza told a press conference Friday night at the Shifa hospital in Gaza city that the international organization had enough supplies to last for three weeks.
“Life should go on in this place (of the world) where the inhabitants suffer from big problems at all levels” he added.
Ging declared that the current calm prevailing in Gaza would help in restoration of UNRWA operations to normalcy.
The international official noted that the economic and humanitarian conditions in the Strip had greatly deteriorated before the latest clashes he said explaining that his organization suspended part of its activity due to the bloody confrontations in Gaza.
UNRWA will focus in the coming stage on operating projects that would ensure work for the unemployed he said noting that 52 million dollars donated by the USA would help in re-operating the organization’s emergency program.
Ging pointed out that the organization had never ceased functioning even during the bloody events despite the killing of two of its workers and the injury of two others.
