They include Amnesty International, Save the Children, Cafod, Care International and Christian Aid.

They criticise Israel's blockade on Gaza as illegal collective punishment which fails to deliver security.

Unsurprisingly, I agree with them (not about it being the worst since 1967 - I would not know, but about it being bad.)
