ICRC - Gaza: paying the price

Gaza: paying the price:

"ICRC - from the field. Civilians are counting the cost of the 3 week conflict in January 2009, which claimed more than a thousand lives and dealt a heavy blow to the economy of Gaza, a territory already shattered by decades of conflict and deprivation. The international community pledged billions of dollars in aid, but restrictions on essential raw materials going into Gaza will have to be lifted if Palestinians are to rebuild their lives."

*ICRC (International Committee of the Red Cross) is an independent, neutral organization ensuring humanitarian protection and assistance for victims of war and other situations of violence.
