Red Cross: Gaza blockade illegal:

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has described Israel’s 
blockade of the Gaza Strip as a violation of the Geneva Conventions and called 
on the Israeli government to lift it.

In a statement released on Monday, the organisation called the blockade 
“collective punishment”, a crime under international law. It described Gaza as 
a territory plagued by frequent power cuts, a ruined economy, and a collapsed 
health care system.

“The closure imposed on the Gaza Strip is about to enter its fourth year,

quality of Gaza’s health care system has reached an all-time low.”
