MP Dr. Jamal Al-Khudari has said that the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) was blocking entry of construction materials into Gaza Strip for the 49th day running Saturday.
Khudari, who is heading the popular committee against siege, said in a press release that all construction projects for international and local agencies were frozen.
He said that the IOA announced it was facilitating entry of construction materials into Gaza but was doing the contrary on the ground.
International projects to the tune of 200 million dollars were suspended and thousands of workers were laid off, the independent MP said.
Khudari demanded free access into Gaza of construction materials in its capacity as part of the Palestinian people’s rights, adding that his committee was exerting efforts on the Arab and international levels to expose the impacts of siege on all walks of life in the coastal enclave focusing on the ban on entry of construction materials.
