This week on Crossing The Line: Israel continues it’s nearly two-year closure of the Gaza Strip as thousands of medical patients take to the streets to protest this past week.

With the continued sealing off of all Gaza’s exits how can humanitarian relief be given to the strip’s 1.5 million residents who are facing a grave crisis, and more importantly how can Gazans be allowed to sustain their own futures rather than be wards of the UN. Melinda Borne, program director of United Palestine Appeal will join us to talk about it.

This program was produced by Crossing The Line for April 17, 2009.
