End the blockade on Gaza
Julia C.
started this petition to
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - bnetanyahu@knesset.gov.il, Minister of Defense - Moshe Yaalon - myaalon@knesset.gov.il
The Israeli government put a land, air and sea blockade on the Gaza Strip in 2007. Since that time,
the people of Gaza have suffered collective punishment
. They have
no freedom
of movement, there is
very limited export
of goods from Gaza, and the people are dependent mainly on the products allowed in from Israel. The situation has worsened since
Egypt
destroyed almost all of the tunnels
and
cut back
to a bare minimum the number of
people who can leave via
the
Rafah
crossing.
The results of these actions, tied together with the harsh winter weather
: skyrocketing prices, severe unemployment, serious damage to the infrastructure, despair and lack of hope, and almost complete isolation from the outside world.
