La inminente catástrofe ambiental reafirma la urgencia de levantar el bloqueo ilegítimo de la Franja de Gaza
Summary
A statement by Friends of the Earth International condemning the blockade of the Gaza Strip, detailing the resulting humanitarian and environmental catastrophe, and calling for an immediate end to collective punishment and the restoration of essential services.
Key insights
- The blockade of the Gaza Strip, in place since June 2007, has created a severe socio-economic crisis where 50% of the Palestinian population lives in poverty, 80% rely on humanitarian aid, 68% face food insecurity, and 69% of youth are unemployed.
- Environmental degradation and lack of vital supplies have rendered Gaza uninhabitable, with electricity available only two to four hours per day and only 4% of water suitable for human consumption.
- Israeli restrictions have severely impacted food production, affecting up to 35% of agricultural lands and 85% of fishing waters. Enforcement methods include the use of live ammunition, harassment of fishers, destruction of crops, and confiscation of boats.
- Friends of the Earth International asserts that Israel's policies toward Gaza's two million inhabitants violate international humanitarian law, specifically the obligations of an Occupying Power to guarantee basic needs and prohibit collective punishment.
