GAZA, Oct 30 (KUNA) -- Leading Palestinian activists handed over on
Thursday a petition signed by one million Gazans to the international agency,
UNRWA, urging for lifting the siege on Gaza Strip.
The written appeal was handed over to officials of the United Nations
Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) in the
strip.
Dr. Iyad Seraj, in charge of the Palestinian campaign for lifting the
blockade, said at a news conference held outside the UNRWA building that the
message was addressed to the UN general secretariat.
The document was signed by women, children and elderly.
The Israeli siege has caused enormous hardships to the Gazans, particularly
the sick. (end)
