The document will be delivered during an ordinary session of the UN General Assembly, said Dr Iyad Sarraj head of the campaign, and is meant to express the Palestinian will and exert pressure on the international community, especially the UN General Assembly. It is hoped that the document will urge the body to make an immediate resolution to end the siege on the Gaza Strip.

The document emphasizes that siege violates international human rights as well as international law. It also violates the fourth Geneva Convention which maintains that civilians must be protected during wartime while under occupation.

According to the document, the siege on Gaza has resulted in an unprecedented escalation in poverty and unemployment rates. Standards of plummeted and malnutrition rose especially amongst children and pregnant women. As a result of the Israeli siege, says the document, the Gazan industrial and agricultural sectors have been damaged as well as infrastructure and public service sectors. It also deepened the humanitarian crises especially in health and educations sectors as students and patients were denied access to hospitals and universities abroad.
