Demands that Israel, the occupying Power, cease immediately its imposition
of prolonged closures and economic and movement restrictions, including those amounting
to a blockade on the Gaza Strip, which severely restricts the freedom of movement of
Palestinians within, into and out of Gaza and their access to basic utilities, housing,
education, work, health and an adequate standard of living via various measures, including
import and export restrictions, that have a direct impact on livelihoods, economic
sustainability and development throughout Gaza, and in this regard calls upon Israel to

goods and for the acceleration of long overdue reconstruction in the Gaza Strip;

among thousands of children and women, massive damage and destruction to homes,
economic, industrial and agricultural properties, vital infrastructure, including water,
sanitation and electricity networks, religious sites and public institutions, including
hospitals and schools, and United Nations facilities, and agricultural lands, and large-scale

loss of life and injury;
