Foreign companies have
rejected a request by the Israeli regime to take part in the
construction of a wall surrounding the already besieged Gaza Strip, a
report says.
Al-Aqsa TV said Wednesday that the companies refused to contribute to the construction of the concrete barrier.
The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth
said Israel’s construction companies have asked for help from foreign
firms in the building of the wall. The first stage of the construction
will begin in October.
The plan is to build a wall several meters
underground with a length of about 10 kilometers (over six miles). The
barrier also includes an above-ground section. Palestinian children play among abandoned vehicles in the city of Khan Yunis, southern Gaza Strip, April 26, 2016. (AFP)The
Israeli regime denies about 1.7 million people in Gaza their basic
rights, such as freedom of movement, jobs that pay proper wages, and
adequate healthcare and education. The Palestinians in Gaza, therefore,
use underground tunnels to bring in the basic needs.
Israel and Egypt’s military have been engaged in a campaign to destroy the tunnels.
A
report by the World Food Program (WFP) in February 2014 said the
tunnels represented the “main supply and commercial trade route for
goods into Gaza.”
