Foreign Secretary David Lammy set out "the future of the U.K.'s foreign policy" this week. It's an abysmal vision, says Dr. David McGrogan, but it gives hope that the edifice of 'progressive realism' will soon collapse.

No eyes or ears for the cries of Gaza

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | opinion/analysis author Tuesday April 15, 2008 22:33author by Fathi tobail and Sana Ahmad - Palestine news and media agency (Wafa)author email ftobail at yahoo dot comauthor address al nasser street, gaza, palestineauthor phone +972 599 740575 Report this post to the editors

Simply we can describe the situation of the Gaza Strip as the worst of its kind since the Israeli occupation of Palestine in 1948, if you walk the streets of Gaza city you will be shocked seeing how miserable and harsh life the people of Gaza are facing, as a result of the Israeli daily aggressions and sever measures.

Something like 80 percent of the population of Gaza have become dependant on the foreign aid. The Poverty and employment rates have increased and the private sector is closing down.

Ten percent of the of the needed supplies have been allowed to enter Gaza a year ago.

There is a great shortage in oil supplies, imposed by Israel, the shortage caused major problems as the residents and even the hospitals are subjected to power cuts reaching to 12 hours a day, moreover the water and drainage systems are approaching total collapse.

The humanitarian crisis extends as the shops have no goods, the prices have risen, and the educational system is at the brisk of collapsing

This human tragedy will not end until the borders are opened to allow the supplies to enter Gaza so the people can lead better lives and have a minimum of human dignity.

No eyes or ears for the cries of Gaza…. the severity of this human tragedy did not move hearts of world countries as non of them extended their help or even verbal condemnation but silence has overwhelmed.
