RIYADH: The government of India looks forward to an early end to the suffering of the people of Gaza and a return to a dialogue and resumption of the peace process, the Embassy of India said yesterday quoting the official spokesperson in New Delhi.
“It is indeed strange that while talks are going on in Cairo among representatives of all concerned under the guidance of the French and the Egyptian officials, there is no sign of sorrow or concern about the plight of the million and half Gazan civilians living in a permanent state of fright,” the statement said.
“The deteriorating situation in Gaza and the plight of the population are heart rending. The daily timetable of a three-hour cease-fire does not appear to be producing any favorable change in the situation. The situation on the energy front appears extremely grim as nearly three-fourths of the Gaza population is now without any electricity and the prospects with no fuel oil available appear even more serious. The situation on the food front in Gaza is no better. Some 750,000 people are without access to food,” the statement added.
