London - Saba:
British Minister for the Middle East, Tariq Ahmad, revealed that the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip is critical, and that only 10% of the population has access to safe drinking water.
In a press statement last night, he said that the Israeli blockade has hindered the delivery of aid to the Gaza Strip, and that it must work to prevent the worsening of the suffering.
The British Minister urged the Israeli occupation to lift restrictions on humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip.
It is worth noting that the Kerem Shalom and Beit Hanoun (Erez) crossings have been closed for 16 days, with no time for aid.
