Hamas calls on Palestinians to march to Rafah crossing

GAZA, June 5 (KUNA) -- Palestinian Islamic resistance movement Hamas called on Thursday on people in Gaza Strip to launch a demonostration on Friday from the strip to Egypt's Rafah crossing.
The movement said in a statement the demonstration would be part of its ongoing efforts to lift the siege on the Gaza Strip.
Hamas' public activities spokesman Ashraf Abu-Diyah urged people in the Gaza Strip to flock to the crossing main gate to mount pressure on Egypt to re-open the only exit to the Palestinian people after the Friday prayers.
He warned from "severe consequences of the imposed siege which might lead to a human and health tragedy that the world has not witness before."(end) zt.sab KUNA 051212 Jun 08NNNN
