GAZA, (PIC)– The Palestinian ministry of transport in Gaza warned that the acute fuel shortage in Gaza rendered thousands of taxi drivers unemployed after their vehicles became out of service.

According to Palestinian officials in Gaza, the current fuel crisis is mainly attributed to Egypt’s destruction of most of Rafah border tunnels, which were used to cover some of the fuel and food needs of the Gazan population, who are trying hard to cope with the impacts of the Israeli blockade on their daily lives.

For its part, the UN office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs (OCHA) recently expressed its grave concern over the humanitarian situation in Gaza which has unprecedentedly worsened following the latest Egyptian measures against Gaza tunnels and restrictions on movement of goods and personnel at Rafah border crossing.

OCHA called on Egypt and Israel to open all border crossings with Gaza and facilitate the movement of goods and civilians from and into the impoverished Strip.

In turn, MP Jamal Al-Khudari, head of the popular committee against the siege, warned that Israel’s closure of Karam Abu Salem commercial crossing for the fourth consecutive day has exacerbated the difficult life of the civilians in Gaza and made it unbearable.

“The closure of Karam Abu Salem crossing has caused a severe shortage of basic supplies, including fuel and combustibles, despite the fact that the Israeli blockade has already worsened the difficult situation,” MP Khudari said.

Martyred By Israeli Occupation Attacks

انّا للہ و انّا الیه راجعون

May Allah Subhana wa Ta’ ala grant the Shuhada Jannatul Firdaus, and ease it for their families, loved ones and anyone around them. Allahumma Ameen ya Rabbil Alameen. ‘ Inna Lillahi wa ‘ Inna ‘ Ilayhi Raji’un, Allahu Akbar

* The list of shuhada does not display, the numerous victims of the zionist occupation which are undocumented by media. Nor it displays the victims of the “silent onslaught” due to restrictions of movement, ability to go to hospitals for treatment or life saving surgery, due to lack of medication because of the blockades and so on. For example: The Slow Motion Genocide by the Siege on Gaza only, killed 600 patients since Gaza got under Israeli Siege.

Neither does this list, display the avoidable mortality. A clear and statistical factual evidence, about the number of deaths due to indecent ruling by occupation forces. For even an occupier has obligations under International Laws, Geneva Convention and the Hague regulations, which it is neglecting. These circumstances, together with deliberate policies of the occupier to neglect and even deny every basic human right, severes avoidable mortality which is totally silenced by media or reporting organisations. While in the Holocaust, 1 on 6 Jewish people directly died of deliberate neglect, so if we believe the facts over 1 million due to avoidable mortality, neither should these same circumstances be ignores which are ongoing in Palestine. For this report displays a avoidable morality of at least 0,5 million Palestinians.

How many more dead corpses of Palestinians does the international community need to see in order to act? How many more cruelties and violations of Human Rights, Regulations and International Law will be needed to intervene so this ongoing warcrime is being stopped once and for all.
