10/04/2025 | 16:11:34 Thank you, Mister President. The humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip resembles depictions of Dante's Inferno. Statistics of victims of indiscriminate bombings, destruction of medical, educational, water, electricity, welfare infrastructures, and the near famine experienced by thousands of Gazans all speak to the hellish conditions under which the population of Gaza lives today. This war targets Palestinians because of who they are. The recent indiscriminate killings of medical personnel... 28/01/2025 | 17:14:36 Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. I'm sorry for this. We, the Palestinian delegation, commend the report of Ms Saskia KLUIT of the Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development. I think this has been a labor of seriousness to consider the effects of war and destruction, since 7 October 2023, on the people of Gaza. At the same time, allow me to say, we in the Palestinian delegation are very pleased with the ceasefire, and we hope for the release of all hostages and for our people... 01/10/2024 | 19:09:47 Thank you, Mister President and esteemed members of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.

There is no way that anyone can whitewash the entirely man-made disaster created by Israel in its war on Gaza. Whether it is the Interim Report of Damage issued by the Word Bank in March or the recent CNN story of yesterday 26 June 2024. The statistics of devastation cry out for all those with some conscience in this hall and elsewhere. The total destruction, and devastation of Gaza have resulted in the destruction of 70% of housing units. The economic loss is... 18/04/2024 | 17:34:07 Action Against Hunger issued on 9 April that we affirmed an immediate permanent ceasefire. The conflict in Gaza has led to over 1 million people facing catastrophic levels of food insecurity. 81% of households lack access to safe and clean water. In northern Gaza, people go entire days without eating. Famine is preventable if there is an immediate cessation of hostilities and an immediate and permanent ceasefire. The extent of suffering by our people in the Gaza strip is documented by United...
