A top UN official warned Thursday of another potential conflict in the Gaza Strip, urging Israel to lift its blockade and Palestinian political parties to end in-fighting to avoid further violence.The UN says that if a small percentage of Gazans are deprived of construction materials. then it is all but inevitable for them to start firing rockets at Israel.
The United Nations also called for an additional $705 million in humanitarian aid to the Palestinian territories, most of it for Gaza which saw its bloodiest and most destructive war last year.
"Right now, things are not going well, and we're very concerned about the possibility of a further conflict," James Rawley, UN humanitarian chief for the Palestinian territories, told AFP.
Even as Rawley admits that there is "good cooperation" from Israel on facilitating building materials into Gaza.
When other peoples in the world have little material goods orlose their possessions, they are considered needy. When some Gazans have to go without some essentials, the UN expects them to become violent.
So is the UN bigoted against Palestinian Arabs? Or are the Gazans just that prone to violence?
