World stands by as Gazans sift through rubble 3 months after ceasefire, warn aid agencies
17 April 2008
Jerusalem – A coalition of international aid agencies today warned that tens of thousands of Gazans are still homeless and without basic services such as piped drinking water three months after the 18 January ceasefire.
The agencies, including Oxfam International, CARE West Bank and Gaza, War Child Holland and Medical Aid for Palestinians, also called on the international community – and the European Union in particular which in the coming weeks will consider strengthening ties with Israel – to do more than pay lip service to the needs of the people of Gaza whose lives were torn apart during the three-week military operation.
