Its time to look ahead with an eye on the rebuild Gaza Strip & opening all crossings to enter essential aids & to back the infrastructure which Israeli war crimes destroyed for the Palestinians in Gaza. Gaza Strip need more than $3 billion immediately to help the 1.4 million Gazans living in dire conditions & in aid to help rebuild the territory whose infrastructure was destroyed during the three weeks of war crimes.

There is more than 80% of all goods currently allowed into Gaza are basic foods, such as fruit, dairy, flour, oil and sugar that the tap has been turned off on essential goods needed for agriculture and rebuilding as well as clothing, shoes and supplies for education.

The people of Gaza have been restricted to survival rations for now over 20 months. Restrictions on food types, clothing and school books are keeping innocent children underfed, cold and uneducated. Hospitals, schools and thousands of homes need to be rebuilt. We cannot talk seriously about rebuilding Gaza without the opening of all crossings. A wide range of substantial goods needed to get through such as agricultural materials, cement, glass and plastic pipes opening crossings capable of handling all goods was vital.

Hundreds of millions of dollars are needed immediately to help the 1.4 million Gazans living in dire conditions that some neighborhoods have been almost totally destroyed, and many homes have been reduced to rubble, unexploded ordinance is a big problem, raw sewage is flowing in the streets and people’s food, water and medical needs are immense a number of UN facilities, not least schools, were also trashed in the Israeli assault.

Therefore, billions of dollars in aid to rebuild Gaza will be wasted without opening all crossings & borders face of essential materials , coincide Israel obligation with that. Its interest & stress the importance of financial aids for Gaza Strip & pressure on Israel to enter essential goods such as school supplies and building materials by these contributions that lead to reconstruction in Gaza. Financial contributions won’t serve rebuilding if essential materials are still being blocked from getting in, what Gazans ppl need today goes beyond basic humanitarian supplies.

So ,who should pay to put things right? The Palestinians don’t have the necessary resources. But the big question that few Western politicians have so far dared to ask is: shouldn’t Israel be obliged to pay war reparations?, especially that cases of war crimes are launched from the (IFC) Israeli Defence Force & government. Last , shouldn't Israel be obliged to open all crossings & allow to enter all essential materials immediately??

Yes, Israel should be obliged to pay all war reparations. They inflicted all this damage. It is only fair they pay for the reparations. ALL the crossings should be opened immediately to all aid coming in, and pay for the goods or materials getting wasted waiting at the crossings.
The question is: How do we get Israel to open all the crossings? Unless the international community gets a spine and stands up, demanding that Israel be held to the same standards than the rest of the world, it won't happen. I think we must increase our efforts with the BDS campaign. I believe there is about 30% of the population that is boycotting. We need EVERY SINGLE person to boycott the Zionist state and also any country who supports this monster.
