Israel reneges on promises again, continues murderous siege of Gaza despite Palestinian cease-fire

GAZA, (PIC)-- John Ging, the director of UNRWA relief operations in Gaza, stated Saturday that despite the Palestinian side's commitment to the truce and its cessation of rocket attacks on Israeli targets, Israel did not open the crossings properly in the way needed by the Gaza people, adding that the humanitarian situation is getting worse.

"The situation in Gaza is still frustrating to the people, we have a truce; this is good and there is a cessation of rocket firing; this is also good, but Israel has not yet opened the crossings to the extent that we hoped for, so Gaza residents are still suffering here," Ging told the Ramattan news agency.
