UN's Ban: Gaza remains a 'powder keg'
The Gaza Strip "remains a powder keg," UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon warned Sunday as part of a conference of international donors being held in Cairo.
"Gaza remains a tinderbox, the inhabitants are desperate to see results in their daily lives", Ban said in his speech.
"In 2009, the international community had already gathered" in Egypt to discuss Gaza's reconstruction after Operation Cast Lead, Ban said, adding that "We promised our support and we agreed to rebuild and now we are here again (...), the building-destruction cycle continues," he lamented.
