עתירה דחופה לבג"ץ: לבטל את איסור מעבר הדלק והסחורות לעזה
עו"ד מונא חדאד מארגון "גישה", מוסיפה: "ישראל שולטת בכל המעברים לעזה ומשתמשת בזה לצורך הענשת אוכלוסיה אזרחית. הרי ישראל עצמה מודה שהאוכלוסיה האזרחית אינה אשמה במה שקורה, אבל היא גם יודעת שאוכלוסיה זו תהיה הראשונה להיפגע ביכולתה לנהל חיים תקינים, וזאת בזמן שכלכלת עזה מדרדרת קשות בגלל הקורונה. המדיניות הענישתית הזו מיושמת כבר הרבה זמן, ואנחנו יכולים לראות את התוצאות הקשות שלה על יכולת בתי החולים לתפקד, למשל. תושבי הרצועה נמצאים במעין עוצר קורונה כמעט בלי חשמל בימים הכי חמים בשנה, כך גם האנשים הנמצאים בבידוד. אלה תושבים שאין להם כל חלק במה שישראל מנסה למנוע. מדובר בצעד אכזרי ובלתי אנושי של ניצול מצוקת הקורונה והחום הבלתי נסבל".

According to Adv. Muna Haddad of Gisha, while Israel itself admits that Gaza’s civilian population is not to blame for what is happening, it also knows that this population will be the first to be harmed in its ability to lead a normal life at a time when the Gaza economy is deteriorating because of the coronavirus. “This punitive policy has been implemented for a long time, and we can see its dire consequences on the ability of hospitals to function, for example,” says Haddad.
“The residents of the strip are under a kind of coronavirus curfew, with almost no electricity during the hottest days of the year, while people are in quarantine. These are residents who have no part in what Israel is trying to prevent. It is a cruel and inhumane step to exploit the seriousness of the coronavirus and the unbearable heat.”

Gaza Struggles to Bring Coronavirus Infection Under Control Amid Warning of Community Spread
Infections in the Gaza Strip are rising in the shadow of continued restrictions including the closure of the Kerem Shalom crossing into Israel, which means that Gaza’s fuel supply has been curtailed, and the shutdown of Gaza power station. Human rights groups petitioned the High Court of Justice on Sunday to immediately cancel all restrictions that Israel has imposed on the entry of fuel and other merchandise into Gaza via the Kerem Shalom crossing, the main lifeline for the 2 million residents of the Gaza Strip.
The petition, filed by the human rights groups Gisha, Adalah, Hamoked for the Defense of the Individual, the Association of Civil Rights in Israel and Physicians for Human Rights, states that since August 13 Israel has blocked fuel from entering the Strip through the Kerem Shalom crossing. As a result, the only power station in the Gaza Strip, which normally provides about one third of the electricity, has been shut down, in addition to the maritime blockade maintained by Israel. Affidavits attached to the petition show the depth of the crisis in the Strip. A pediatrician from Shifa Hospital warned that babies would die if an electricity outage shut down their ventilators, transfusion pumps and other vital equipment. A senior official in the water authority of towns on the coast said that the longer fuel is prevented from entering the Strip, the more water installations would shut down, including sewage pumps, which would lead to untreated sewage flowing to the sea and damage to the environment and public health.
“At this time especially when the coronavirus is spreading, when clear signs are present of the depending of the economic and humanitarian crisis, the fear is growing of further harm to the health care system and nutritional security of the inhabitants,” the petitioners wrote. “Despite the clear distress of the situation, Israel’s defense minister and the coordinator of government activities in the territories chose to take additional steps intended to directly harm the civilian population, while they are fully aware of the impact of their decisions on the inhabitants of Gaza,” they added.

* NGOs urge court to halt Gaza fuel ban, UN warns of COVID-19 spike
The five NGOs mentioned all these issues in their petition to the HCJ, filed by Gisha – Legal Center for Freedom of Movement, Adalah – The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel, HaMoked, the Association for Civil Rights in Israel and Physicians for Human Rights Israel.
They charged that Israel has an obligation under international law and its own administrative rules of the territory to provide the fuel.
“Israel must immediately restore uninterrupted access to fuel at Kerem Shalom,” the NGOs said. “Particularly at this moment of pandemic outbreak, when all indications are of an aggravation of existing humanitarian concerns, there is growing fear of further harm to Gaza’s healthcare system and food security.”
* NGOs petition Israeli Supreme Court: Israel must immediately remove ban on entry of fuel to Gaza

(also includes our PR, almost in full)
In the petition, the organizations emphasize:
“Particularly at this moment of pandemic outbreak, when all indications are of an aggravation of existing humanitarian concerns, there is growing fear of further harm to Gaza’s healthcare system and food security. Despite the obvious hardship, the respondents [Israel’s defense minister and the Israeli military’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories] chose to implement additional steps that cause deliberate harm to the Palestinian civilian population in Gaza, knowing full well the implications of their decisions and their consequences for Gaza residents.”
The implementation of punitive measures, in contravention of international law and previous Israeli Supreme Court rulings, reflects Israel’s disregard for its obligation to facilitate normal living conditions in Gaza and to protect residents’ basic rights, said the Adalah press release. Israel must immediately restore uninterrupted access to fuel at Kerem Shalom, reverse all restrictions on entry of goods, and remove the maritime closure, it demanded.
