WHO expresses concern over the Gaza humanitarian health crisis, December 2013 [EN/AR]

REPORT

8 December 2013, Jerusalem - "The accumulation of shortages in basic supplies in Gaza is leading to rapid deterioration in the social determinants of health for the population of 1.7 million Palestinians. It is also straining the health system’s ability to continue to provide a good standard of health care. The chronically ill, newborns, transplant recipients, the elderly, persons with disability, emergency patients, and the poor are most vulnerable, but the mental health and public health of the whole population is also at risk from increasing stress and declining services. And with 60 000 births a year, Gaza’s health care needs are growing."

Why is the rest of the planet tasked with propping up an Islamist terrorist enclave of incompetent, inept fools who can't manage the affairs of government?

You expect us to feel sorry for them? Let them eat sand.

***MUST SEE Muslims "Palestinians" Celebrating 9/11 (CNN - Fox) September 11 ARABS twin towers 911 - YouTube

The media already admitted that was a canned video shot at a different time than 9/11.

They weren't celebrating 9/11 and those weren't people in Gaza.

So go fuck yourself!

Bullshit. I watched it live. And 3 networks reported it live. And if you watch the video you'll see they are reporting it live. And no they weren't celebrating a soccer match. Try again Ahmed.

They're people struggling like any other people.

According to SNOPES, yes, that incident really happened - however, if you read the link you will realize that there is a lot left out in those videos and reports. A simple newsclip doesn't provide us with enough context to determine what the people shown are reacting to; why they are reacting the way the are or whether they are representative of a large group of people or a very small one. Twelve years ago, many of those struggling in the aftermath of the storm weren't born or were children. Why punish them? We're a better people than that.

UNRWA calls Gaza 'disaster area,' pleads for end to Israeli blockade

UNRWA calls Gaza 'disaster area,' pleads for end to Israeli blockade | Maan News Agency

BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- "UNRWA spokesperson Chris Gunness said that large regions of the Gaza Strip are a "disaster area" and called on the world community to lift the Israeli blockade in order to allow recovery efforts to proceed, in a statement sent to Ma'an."

The statement from UNRWA reads:

"Large swathes of northern Gaza are a disaster area with water as far as the eye can see. Areas around Jabalia have become a massive lake with two meter high waters engulfing homes and stranding thousands.*Four thousand UNRWA workers are battling the floods and have evacuated hundreds of families to UNRWA facilities. Our sanitation, manintenance workers, social workers and medical staff have been working through the night and round the clock to assist the most vulnerable, the old, the sick, children and women."

The statement from UNRWA continues, "Any normal community would struggle to recover from this disaster. But a community that has been subjected to one of the longest blockades in human history, whose public health system has been destroyed and where the risk of disease was already rife, must be freed from these man made constraints to deal with the impact of a natural calamity such as this. And of course it is the most vulnerable, the women and children, the elderly who wil pay the highest price of failure to end the blockade."*


the plant ran out of diesel fuel as a result of the tightening of a 7 year blockade imposed on the territory by Israel, supported by Egypt.

The power plant itself was only reopened last year after it was targeted by an Israeli airstrike in an assault in 2006 on Gaza.

The power plant generates around 30 % of the Gaza Strip's electricity supply, while the rest comes from Israel and Egypt.

Until July , the tunnels to Egypt provided a vital lifeline for the territory amidst the otherwise crippling Israeli blockade.

The blockade of Gaza by Israel has been in place since 2006, and it has limited imports and exports and led to a major economic decline and wide-reaching humanitarian crisis.

It is certainly way past time the Blockade on Gaza, an act of collective punishment and defined as an Israeli war crime by the IRCR and other international legal authorities, be permanently lifted.

What better time than NOW in this time of increasing humanitarian crisis in Gaza for the international community to insist Israel lift this unlawful Blockade of Gaza and allow all humanitarian assistance the people in Gaza need enter her borders.

I wonder if Mrs. Sherri can tell us why the Palestinians have their very own UN Relief Agency when there are countries in which the people are starving and are actually skin and bones, but yet the UN seems to overlook these people who are truly in need. I have never seen pictures of people in Gaza look like so many of the people you find in Africa.

What makes you think the UN overlooks them?

 

[Hollie]

All of what is addressed below is directly caused by Israels deliberate unlawful Blockade of Gaza.


Public health representatives from various Gaza institutions met last week to discuss the decreasing ability of the fragile health infrastructure to cope with critical shortages, being faced with 30% of medicines and 50% of medical disposables out of stock at the Central Drug Store in Gaza.

Health care providers in Gaza cannot supply patients with the right kind or amount of medications, with the shortages.

Also, large generators for powering hospitals during 14-hour electricity cuts are having frequent breakdowns.

One of two generators that powers the Gaza European hospital burned out last month.

What remains of the generators are unreliable and diesel is scarce, expensive and can supply only partial needs, such as the 200 patients in intensive care units. In recent months, government hospitals have reduced non-urgent surgeries by almost half in an effort to conserve fuel and medical supplies for urgent cases.

That's a fraudulent claim, Mahmoud.


The issue is islamic terrorists who were tasked with establishing a functional government and who have utterly failed at doing so.


Your cheap excuses are a similar failure.


Ain't it a hoot that islamic terrorists have come begging like underpaid prostitutes to Israel for help in managing government affairs?

WHO is a worldwide health organization, they have no reason ro publish false data, all they say in their report is true.

What we see is Israel deliberately denies a civilian population of 1.7 million, over half of whom are children, of medicines needed to sustain health and life.

ZIONISTS certainly show the world how low a people can go, the Zionists of Israel, driven by hate and the desire to ethnically cleanse the land of those with unpure blood, ie nonJews/Gentiles/Palestinians.

 

[SherriMunnerlyn]

The World Health Organization (WHO) , I read from their website, is the directing and coordinating authority for public health within the United Nations system.

"The WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean is one of WHO’s six regional offices around the world. It serves the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region, which comprises 22 Member States and the occupied Palestinian territory (West Bank and Gaza Strip), with a population of nearly 583 million people.

The Regional Office, together with country offices in 18 countries of the Region, works with governments, specialized agencies, partners and other stakeholders in the field of public health to develop health policies and strengthen national health systems. Countries of the Region are represented in the World Health Assembly, WHO Executive Board and Regional Committee for the Eastern Mediterranean."

It is really only to promote cheap excuses for islamic terrorism that allow you to assign responsibility for failure and ineptitude on any entity other than the islamic terrorists in Gaza.

Mrs. Sherri and her gang are such drama queens that you have to laugh at their nonsensical outbursts. She doesn't seem to realize that it is her friends who show the world that they are so low that they can't tolerate people of other faiths but have to murder them instead. Naturally on a Middle East forum she will never bring up the Sunnis murdering the Shia and vice versa. Of course she would bring up the atrocities they do to each other if she and her gang could only find a way to blame the Jews for it.

I am not a baby killer like Zionists in Palestine are.

I shall never be a baby killer or defend Zionist baby killing as Sally/aka Hossfly does.

Should Mrs. Sherri put that in classical or folk? This way she can emulate one of the famous Persian singers such as Parisa Badiyi I think you can figure out that Mrs. Sherri always forgets to take her meds because as you can see she is so deluded that she can't comprehend that her friends are killing babies and other young children in the Muslim world. Over 7,000 plus children dead in Syria up to now, and that number means nothing to her. By the way, she sure does sound like a broken record.

 

[SherriMunnerlyn]

Zionists think the baby killing is funny, and Zionists remain baby killers, some things shall never change.

If you want to sing about the baby killing, write songs and sing them, noone here to stop you, go for it by all means.

My songs l write and sing are all against wars and killing .

[aris2chat]

For the last two years all medical supplies have been going to gaza.
Building material were entering before the storm. Special agencies have been getting building supplies for over a year.
As long a Hamas keeps the factions from attacking Israel the blockade has been by sea, which UN said was legal, and of specific weapon items.
You act as if gaza was in dire straights when the fuel problem was between gaza and the PA and all of Hamas' making.
You guys are stuck on the past and not the achievements of both sides in the last year or so.
Egypt has kept the borders closed, shut down the tunnels and routed out fighters in the sinai.
You don't realize that any blockade past or present is only due to hamas and other militants? So why blame Israel?

 

[SherriMunnerlyn]

Israel imposes an illegal Blockade on Gaza and has been doing this for 7 straight years now.

And we see UN organizations and human rights groups repeatedly criticizing the unlawful Blockade and demanding it be lifted.

READ THE OP!
