Released to coincide with the first "anniversary of the start of Israel's military offensive in Gaza," the 16 charities and Christian groups - including Amnesty International, Oxfam, Christian Aid and Medical Aid for Palestinians - lambasted world powers for not doing enough and blamed Israel for not allowing Gazans to "rebuild their shattered lives." "The people of Gaza have been betrayed by the international community, which can and must do far more to end this illegal and inhumane blockade," the 18-page report says. The groups call on the European Union to put a hold on relations with Israel until the Jewish state makes progress on human rights and implementing international law. "The EU should confirm publicly that the upgrading of relations with Israel is put on hold, pending tangible progress in Israel's respect for human rights and international humanitarian law, which should include its actions with regard to the blockade of Gaza," the report's authors say. "It is not only Israel that has failed the people of Gaza with a blockade that punishes everybody living there for the acts of a few, world powers have also failed and even betrayed Gaza's ordinary citizens," says Oxfam's executive director Jeremy Hobbs. "They have wrung hands and issued statements, but have taken little meaningful action to attempt to change the damaging policy that prevents reconstruction, personal recovery and economic recuperation."
