BBC News - ICRC says Israel's Gaza blockade breaks lawIsrael's blockade of Gaza is a clear violation of international humanitarian law, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has said.
In a statement, the ICRC describes the situation in Gaza as dire, saying the only sustainable solution is a lifting of the blockade.
It says Israel is punishing the whole civilian population of Gaza.
It also urges Hamas movement to allow ICRC delegates to visit a detained Israel soldier Gilad Shalit.
Key message
The ICRC, a traditionally neutral organisation, paints a bleak picture of conditions in Gaza: hospitals short of equipment, power cuts lasting hours each day, drinking water unfit for consumption.
"The whole of Gaza's civilian population is being punished for acts for which they bear no responsibility. The closure therefore constitutes a collective punishment imposed in clear violation of Israel's obligations under international humanitarian law,"

No sarcasm there, Rabbi. I'm sure you where there with Bibi Netanyahu on the mountain tops dutifully copying God's word on Humanitarian Law - that all the animals in Palestine must be cleansed from his land and make livingspace for his chosen people. ISRAEL OVER ALL!

Bibi is on record as agreeing to a Pallie state.
Fatah and Hamas are both on record stating they will never accept Israel's right to exist.
In other words, you really don't know WTF you're talking about.
