IranPress/Middle East: As Israel’s siege of the territory continues, Hundreds of Palestinians gathered in Gaza port and called for an end to Gaza's on-going siege and blockade.
This is not first time Palestinians protested to Israel policies.
They have repeatedly called for an end to Israeli blockade by holding protests.
After Israel’s decision of tightening the blockade in Gaza by only allowing the entry of food and medicine from its main commercial crossing, Palestinians now have to deal with cooking gas shortage.
Gaza has run out of cooking gas following the Israeli closure of the Karm Abu Salem crossing, the only commercial crossing allowing goods into the besieged Strip.
Israel has enforced the blockade under the excuse of preventing arms smuggling into Gaza for the Palestinian resistance movement of Hamas.
Under the blockade, Gaza, which hosts some two million Palestinians, has already seen an unfolding economic and humanitarian crisis. The United Nations has warned that the overall conditions in the enclave could make it “uninhabitable” by 2020.
