As the blockade imposed by Israel approaches its 9th anniversary, it continues to devastate the lives and livelihoods of 1.8 million Palestinians living in Gaza. Oxfam calls on the international community to press the Government of Israel to immediately end this stifling blockade and to ease access into and out of Gaza, so the 1.8 million Palestinians living there can claim the basic human rights and freedom they deserve.
