Gaza siege is ‘morally wrong’
Jan 28 2008 by Gareth Rogers, South Wales Echo
AN MEP who is demanding the Israeli siege into Gaza is stopped is going there to see the situation first hand.
Welsh MEP and Plaid Cymru deputy president Jill Evans will fly to the Holy Land after organising a vigil in Queen Street, Cardiff.
Ms Evans, who will speak to the heads of churches in Jerusalem and peace-keeping groups, from Sunday, February 3, said: “The Israeli siege of Gaza is illegal collective punishment.
“It is against international law as well as being morally abhorrent.
“Vital supplies of electricity and fuel, water, food, medicines and other supplies have been cut off to the men, women and children living there. This is a human catastrophe.”
