OPEN LETTER TO THE

EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT

EUROPEAN GOVERNEMENTS

 

 

The Platform of the Italian NGOs for the Middle East, which gather 33 Italian Ngos operating in Lebanon and in the oPt since years, is seriously concerned by the fact that, nothwistanding the declaration of ceasefire and its implementation since more that three days, International Ngos and members of Humanitarian organizations willing to provide support and aid to the people of Gaza severely affected by the military operations, are prevented from entering the Strip by the Israeli authorities.

 

The borders are still sealed in front of civilians and humanitarian aid workers and a selective and political policy is implemented by the Israeli authorities, while media are providing faulse information aimed at giving the impression that borders with Gaza are opened and aid and goods are entering  Gaza without constraints and restrictions.

 

We believe that the issue of free movement to and from Gaza should be raised immediately at the European and International levels and the European Parliament and governments should be asked to put an effective pressure on the Israeli Government in order to grant the access to the victims of the conflict-
