This is incredibly sad and very emotional. It makes you tear just reading it:http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090114/ap_on_re_eu/eu_med_gaza_medical_crisis
I have lost all faith in the US. I think the world will no longer ever be able to look at the US as it once did. How can a country that is supposed to represent such freedom and democracy aid Israel with 6 billion dollars a year in tax payer money to cause such suffering for innocent people?
See a small excerpt of the article below:
"In a statement last week, World Health Organization" declared that health services in Gaza were "on the point of collapse." UNICEF called the situation "tragic" and "unacceptable."
The International Committee of the Red Cross said the Israeli army has failed to evacuate the wounded.
"The violence launched on Gaza is taking an unjustifiable toll on civilian populations," the Lancet said in an editorial. "These actions contravene the fourth Geneva convention," it said, referring to the international agreement that civilians are to be protected in times of war.
The Lancet also published a letter signed by more than 700 medical students calling for an end to the Gaza attacks.
Norwegian doctors Mads Gilbert and Erik Fosse, who are working inside the Al Shifa hospital, described Gaza's health situation as "nightmarish havoc" in the Lancet special report.
The pair have more than two decades of experience working in Gaza and other war zones. Gilbert and Fosse wrote that since arriving in Gaza on Dec. 31, 2008, they have "witnessed the most horrific war injuries in men, women and children of all ages in numbers almost too large to comprehend."
