New UN Report Condemns Blockade On Gaza
A new UN report says Israel should halt its blockade of Gaza and urgently allow all construction materials necessary for
rebuilding homes and civilian infrastructure into the strip. The report also slams Israel's racist segregation and home
demolitions policies. Kia Ora Gaza team member Tali Williams says "With the world's most powerful governments refusing
to hold Israel to account, it is essential that people of conscience step up their commitment". The UN report highlights
the importance of the Kiwi team joining next month's Viva Palestina Arabia international aid convoy breaking the
blockade to take construction materials to the people of Gaza. Williams called for support to "help us raise the last
few thousand dollars needed to make this happen" by visiting the sidebar at www.kiaoragaza.net.
