22 October 2007 <\/i><\/span>– <\/i><\/span>The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) <\/span>today voiced concern about reports from the Gaza Strip that a shortage of anaesthetics, caused by Israeli import restrictions, has resulted in the closure of surgery rooms and health-care centres. <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

“The economic noose continues to tighten around the necks of the people of Gaza, who are being manifestly punished as part of a political strategy,” said Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator John Holmes. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

OCHA is also concerned about the inability of people with emergency health conditions to leave the Gaza Strip to obtain medical care elsewhere, a UN spokesperson said in New York. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The closures and restrictions have resulted in increasing shortages of many basic food items and supplies in Gaza, according to OCHA.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
