Ngo-Israyeli wezinsuku ezingama-51 ukuhlasela eGaza ehlobo lika-2014 eyabulala abangaphezu kuka-2,200, yalimaza i-11,000, yacekela phansi amakhaya e-20,000 futhi yashiya i-500,000, ukuvalwa kwezinhlangano zosizo emngceleni weGaza nguhulumeni waseGibhithe, ukuqhubeka nokuhlasela kuka-Israyeli kubadobi nabanye, kanye nokuntuleka kwamazwe ngamazwe. usizo nge-UNWRA lokwakhiwa kabusha kweGaza, iGaza yamazwe ngamazwe IFreedom Flotilla Coalition inqume ukuphinda inselele ukuvinjelwa kwemikhumbi yempi yakwa-Israyeli eGaza emzamweni wokuthola udumo ngesidingo esibucayi sokuqeda ukuvinjwa kuka-Israyeli eGaza kanye nokuhlukaniswa kwabantu baseGaza.
Abafana basePalestine bathamela umkhuleko wangoLwesihlanu njengoba behleli ezinsalela zendlu ofakazi abathi yacekelwa phansi ngamabhomu e-Israel ngesikhathi kunempi yezinsuku ezingu-50 ehlobo eledlule, endaweni yaseShejaia empumalanga yeGaza City ngoJanuwari 23, 2015.
I-UNRWA, isikhungo esikhulu sosizo se-UN eGaza Strip siveze ukuthi ukuntuleka koxhaso lwamazwe ngamazwe kwayiphoqa ukuthi imise izibonelelo kumashumi ezinkulungwane zabantu basePalestine ukuze kulungiswe izindlu ezilimele empini yehlobo eledlule.
"Abantu balele phakathi kwemfucumfucu, izingane zibulawa yi-hypothermia," kusho uRobert Turner, umqondisi wezokusebenza eGaza we-United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), esitatimendeni. Uthe i-UNRWA ithole kuphela u-$135 wezigidi zamaRandi ayizigidi ezingama-720 ethenjiswe abaxhasi ohlelweni lwayo lokusiza ngemali imindeni engu-96,000 yababaleki amakhaya abo alimele noma acekelwa phansi empini yezinsuku ezingama-50 phakathi kukahulumeni weHamas no-Israyeli. Incane ku-$5.4 billion eyathenjiswa ukwakhiwa kabusha kweGaza engqungqutheleni yaseCairo yabaxhasi bamazwe ngamazwe ngo-Okthoba 2014 isifinyelele eGaza, kanti izinkulungwane zabantu basePalestine bezikhosele ematendeni eduze kwemizi ebhidlikile.
“Sekunezinkulungwane ezengeziwe Ukuphila ezakhiweni ezilimele, kusetshenziswa amapulangwe epulasitiki ukuzama ukuvimba imvula. Babalelwa ku-20,000 ababaleki abasagcinwe ezikoleni eziphethwe yi-UN.”
Nakuba siqaphela ukuthi izimali ziyadingeka ukuze kwakhiwe kabusha iGaza, sinomuzwa wokuthi ukwaziswa okuvela kwenye i-flotilla kuzosiza ukunaka usizi lwabantu baseGaza ngezindlela ezinye izinhlelo ezingeke zikwenze. Ngempela, ohulumeni bayaphoqeleka ukuthi basabele ku-flotillas njengoba kufakazelwa yi-diplomatic izintambo etholwe Isikhungo Samalungelo Omthethosisekelo kusukela eMnyangweni Wezwe wase-US kuya emishini yase-US esifundeni saseMpumalanga Ephakathi.
