Mr. Joe Stork, Washington Director, Middle East and North Africa Division, Human Rights Watch gave a presentation today, Thursday January 22, 2009. His talk, "Deprived and Endangered in Gaza," follows HRW's release of a report by the same title. Israel's large-scale military assault on Gaza has magnified the impact of a 19 month highly restrictive Israeli blockade against 1.5 million Palestinians in Gaza. While the military campaign raises questions on the law of war, specifically the use of banned materials, the humanitarian crisis which has existed in Gaza also raises questions of obligations under international humanitarian law. Mr. Stork spoke at the Palestine Center in Washington, D.C.
