Mr.
Younis asserted that all the CSOs representatives described to Mr.
Ban Ki-Moon the deteriorating situation of the Gaza Strip due to the continuous Israeli aggressions on the Gaza Strip.
They also pointed out the devastating impacts of the continued closure and collective punishment imposed by Israel on civilians in Gaza, which puts the population in jeopardy and affects all aspects of life in the Strip.
They called upon the UN to play an effective role to protect civilians and properties in the Gaza Strip, since the UN, and the international community, have moral and legal responsibilities  towards the Palestinian people.
