“North Gaza has been conquered and in the south people are stuck to the fence, they can’t even get out, they don’t even want to cross the border towards Egypt, continues Peer de Jong.
This is the heart of the problem: this relationship that there is once again between international organizations, international law, and on the other side, the violence of the fighting, the hatred that one has against the other has against each other.” “The systematic destruction of Gaza is incredible, concludes Peer de Jong.
