Conditions in Gaza 'precarious' after bombing
September 10, 2014
Living conditions in Gaza are "still quite dire and quite unstable," the local director of Catholic Relief Services told Vatican Radio.
Matthew McGarry said that while an Israeli military offensive in Gaza has ended, the lives of residents are "quite precarious." Even before the offensive, he said, the supplies of electricity and potable water were uncertain; the Israeli bombing heightened those difficulties.
Emerging from the aftermath of the raids, McGarry said, "the focus has not yet shifted away from the immediate relief into recovery."
