MWL Secretary General stressed the need for unrestricted delivery of humanitarian aid to the Palestinians by opening all crossings

Veteran batsman Mohammad Hafeez has urged his side to take the confidence from their win over hosts England into their next World Cup match against champions Australia.
The 38-year-old was Pakistan's saviour in their sensational 14-run win over England in Nottingham, riding his luck on the way to a match-turning 84 off 62 balls.
That helped Pakistan post a challenging total of 348-8 and set up a confidence-boosting win after they flopped badly in their opening seven-wicket defeat by the West Indies. "I think all 10 teams are beatable," Hafeez said on Sunday. "If you look at England they were playing top cricket and people were thinking it would be hard to beat them."
Hafeez, speaking before Australia suffered a 36-run loss to India at the Oval on Sunday, added: "But all teams are beatable ... if you talk of our next opponent (Australia) they are also playing very good cricket but they too can be defeated."
Pakistan, who face the title-holders at Taunton on Wednesday, have a dismal recent record against Australia - they've won just one of the last 14 one-day internationals between the teams dating back to October 2014.
Australia - who have won four of the last five World Cups - completed a 5-0 whitewash of Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates in March, albeit Pakistan rested seven of their top players.
"Yes, we don't have a very good record against Australia because they play tough cricket but every day is a new day," said Hafeez.
"This is a World Cup and we now have momentum after our win over England."
Pakistan were left to rue persistent rain in Bristol on Friday, which led to a no-result washout in their match against Sri Lanka with both teams receiving a point.
