Inhumane, illegal and insane: A Medieval Siege on Gaza in 2010‏

Through a policy of siege lasting nearly three years, the 1.5 million people of Gaza have been isolated, impoverished and largely ignored by the outside world. At 630PM on Tuesday 1 June at LSE John Ging, Director of UNRWA Operations, discusses the counter-productivity of the siege on Gaza - a medieval measure which threatens to destroy the mentality, mindsets and outlook of hundreds of thousands of innocents in a process designed to unravel the fabric of civilised society. Left to respond to ever-growing needs, UNRWA in Gaza is not only concerned with the harsh realities of daily life, but also with future prospects for peace and stability.
