Hamas calls for big march at Erez crossing
[ 13/05/2008 - 10:52 AM ]

GAZA, (PIC)-- The Hamas Movement on Tuesday called on the Palestinian people in Gaza to head to the Beit Hanun (Erez) crossing next Thursday to express their rage at the continued Israeli siege imposed on the Strip.

Ashraf Abu Diya, in charge of Hamas's popular actions, called on the inhabitants of  Gaza and northern districts to march to the Beit Hanun crossing as part of activities organized to commemorate the Nakba (catastrophe) and to demand an end to the oppressive siege on the Gaza Strip.

The step would serve as a "strong message" to occupation namely that the Palestinians would not accept perpetuation of that suffocating siege and slow death and that they are determined to break that siege with all means and that they are running our of patience.

All options are open before the Palestinian masses to break the siege after their suffering increased, he said, warning of a humanitarian disaster that might be the biggest in history in the event the paralysis in all life sectors in the Strip continued.

Abu Diya urged the Arab and Islamic peoples to support Gaza and to hit the streets in massive demonstrations to remind their rulers of the ethical and religious responsibilities towards the siege.

He urged local and international media to cover the march and other rallies organized by Hamas to break the siege and to expose occupation through revealing the true image of the crimes being committed against the Palestinian people.
