“The Gaza Strip, chafed and numbed by a decades-old Israeli-imposed blockade is on the verge of collapse, and it's all Hamas' fault, Israel's President Reuven Rivlin has said.
“The time is coming near when the infrastructure in Gaza will collapse, leaving many civilians in distress, with no sanitary conditions, exposed to pollution, impure water and epidemics,” Rivlin said Sunday as he toured the Gaza border region.
“Israel is the only one in the region that, whatever the situation, [can] transfers basic essentials to the residents of Gaza so that they can sustain body and mind,” he said, as cited by Haaretz.“
