Palestinian children are demanding lifting of the blockade imposed by Israel on Gaza during a visit, Ban Ki-moon UN Secretary General a in the town of Khan Younis in southern Gaza Strip on March 21, 2010. Ban crossed into Gaza in the morning, expressing solidarity with the plight of the Palestinians and urging an end to an Israeli blockade of the Hamas-run territory. The UN chief was making his second visit to the Gaza Strip since the 22-day Gaza War ended in January 2009 as part of a regional tour aimed at reviving the peace process, which ground to a halt when the fighting broke out.
