EU representative: Reconstruction of Gaza requires an end to Israel’s blockade
GAZA, Tuesday, June 01, 2021 (WAFA) - Representative of the European Union in Palestine, Sven Kuhn von Burgsdorff, said today that the reconstruction of Gaza requires the lifting of the 15-year-old Israeli siege and the free access of people and goods in and out of Gaza.
This came during a press conference held in front of the ruins of al-Jala tower - housing the AP and al-Jazeera offices - destroyed during the 11-day of the Israeli onslaught on the Strip, during which he affirmed that the Israeli siege on the Strip must be lifted and the people and goods must be allowed to move freely in and out of the Strip.
