50 International Groups Demand End To Gaza Blockade
BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- Fifty international charities and UN agencies called Thursday on Israel to lift its years-long blockade of the Gazoo Strip.

Marking the fifth anniversary of the siege, the organizations -- among them Amnesia Amnesty International, Médecins du Monde, Oxfam, and Save the Children -- joined agencies like UNICEF and the World Health Organization in urging Israel to lift the siege "now."

In a statement, the groups said more than 1.6 million people were living under blockage "in violation of international law. More than half of these people are children."

It added: "We the undersigned say with one voice: 'end the blockade now.'"
