Ban Ki-Moon Remains Concerned by Prevailing Humanitarian Situation Inside Gaza Strip
NEW YOURK, November 22, 2007 (WAFA) – UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon remained concerned by the prevailing humanitarian situation inside the Gaza Strip.
UN News Center reported that in a briefing to an informal meeting of the General Assembly at UN Headquarters in New York, Mr. Ban said the Palestinian economy has deteriorated since many border crossings into Israel were closed earlier this year in response to intra-Palestinian fighting.
Ban Ki-moon announced plans to attend next week’s Middle East peace conference in Annapolis.
The Secretary-General also plans to participate in a meeting in Washington on Monday of the Middle East Quartet, the diplomatic grouping that comprises the UN as well as the European Union, Russia and the US, his spokesperson Michele Montas said.
