3 days old...and many others..

- In Rafah: 11 killed in the last 24 hours during the ongoing incursion of El Shokeh in Rafah (South of Gaza), One of them was a 3 day old girl that was carried by her mother when she was running away from the shelling at their house. The girl died in her mom's hands.

- Yesterday in Gaza City: 2 Homes were bombed, one by an F-16 plane and one by an Apache Helicopter. Families were warned of the bombing of their houses. Now it is a regular activity that doesnt bring any serious attention even to those warned!

- Everywhere, Gazan's are barely managing with the Electricity problem and the high price of fuel that gets in to Gaza from Israel every week or so. There is some food everywhere. And guess what! For the first time i taste that great taste of fruits! so we wondered, then someone told me that Israel is not selling much and we finally got the good stuff. Because usually, we get the least qulity of their fruits and vegetables. Anyway, i am not so proud to get those Israeli fruits but in Gaza, there is no Alternative for anything. Gazans are not able anymore to grow fruits because land is bolldozed and we no longer have trees.

-More leaflets seen yesterday, and i guess they were saying the same statements , something more like staying away from "terrorists"

Please remind me: where is that in relation to say, the Tel Sultan neighborhood?

Please be careful

Naj - I can understand yoursentimants regarding Israeli-grown veggies but for now you must see that you stay healthy - that's what counts.

About this 3-year ild girl ... I feel SO terrible for the mom .. what a horror to have the own child die in one's arms!!

I wish to GOD I cold buy KILOS of fruit and send them to you .. believe me, it tears me apart to hear all that!

STAY STRONG NAJ - WE SUPPORT YOU ALL THE WAY!!
