Press Statement
United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process,
Mr. Nickolay Mladenov, on the electricity crisis and protests in Gaza
Jerusalem, 13 January 2017
"I am following with great concern the tense situation unfolding in Gaza after two million Palestinians have been left with just a couple of hours of electricity per day in the middle of winter.
I call for the full respect of the right to freedom of expression, peaceful protest and assembly in Gaza. All responsible authorities must cooperate to resolve the electricity crisis immediately."
