Gaza residents ‘live in despair’
The International Committee of the Red Cross has described the 1.5 million Palestinians living in Gaza as people “trapped in despair”.
In a report, it said that a main cause was the continuing Israeli blockade.
The report comes six months after the end of Israel’s military offensive in Gaza in which at least
1,100 Palestinians died.
Israel said the offensive was aimed at curbing rocket attacks into southern Israel by Palestinian militants.
The Red Cross says that the people of Gaza are unable to rebuild their lives and are sliding ever deeper into despair.
There is not the cement or steel to reconstruct neighbourhoods hit by Israeli strikes.
