Khudari: Opening crossings, ending siege only road to reconstruct Gaza

[ 26/01/2009 - 04:14 PM ]




GAZA, (PIC)-- MP Jamal Al-Khudari, the head of the popular anti siege committee, has asserted that no reconstruction of Gaza is possible without opening all crossings and ending the siege.

Khudari, during a meeting with a number of delegations from Turkey, Greece and other European countries, said that the world community should pressure Israel into opening crossings in its capacity as an inalienable Palestinian right and the only means to return life to normalcy in Gaza.

He said that the declared estimates for the cost of reconstructing Gaza were preliminary, pointing to the huge devastation that engulfed the Strip on all levels.

The MP noted that the Israeli shelling and aggression did not spare factories, infrastructure, houses, government buildings, schools, universities and agricultural lands.

Israel is still continuing its violations of all international laws and doctrines through its closure of crossings and siege, Khudari underlined.
