The head of UN’s agency for the Palestinian refugees has said that Israel’s siege is collectively punishing children, women, older people and ordinary men in Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

“They are collectively punished for being born and living in Gaza, something not of their making,” he said, adding that it has been two months since the siege started.

“The State of Israel must lift the siege and allow a flow of basic supplies,” Lazzarini also said.
