| Number 22, November 13, 2007 Gaza's Humanitarian Crisis: Who's to Blame for What? While all eyes are fixed on the potential and pitfalls of the Annapolis meeting the United States is convening, the Gaza Strip is suffering a humanitarian crisis and ongoing violence from Israeli attacks and intra-Palestinian clashes. Who's to blame? Fingers are pointed at Hamas for having taken over Gaza by force in June 2007; at Israel for its boycott and siege; and at militant groups in Gaza for rockets fired at Israel. None of this saves the civilian population from disaster, or explains how the situation in Gaza deteriorated so quickly. By Nadia Hijab |

| The Policy Notes provide the media, policymakers, and advocacy groups with succinct analysis and insights on current developments in the Israeli-Arab conflict. They are initially being published on a bi-monthly basis. The project is managed by Nadia Hijab, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Palestine Studies. Hijab's first book, Womanpower: The Arab debate on women at work, was published by Cambridge University Press in 1988. She co-authored Citizens Apart: A Portrait of Palestinians in Israel (I. B. Tauris 1990). She was Editor-in-Chief of the London-based Middle East magazine before moving to New York in 1989 to join the United Nations. She left the UN in 1999 to work as an independent consultant on human rights, human development, and gender equality. For more information contact policynotes@palestine-studies.org. | |
