The war between Israel and Palestine has entered Day 28 and what's
happening there is sickening. Over half a million people in Gaza city
have been rendered homeless
with 270,000 crammed into 90 crowded UN shelters,
some of which have had no running water and electricity. At least 1,700 Palestinians have been killed while 69 Israelis have been killed. Shelters full of children in Gaza have been
bombed, medical supplies have run out, many hospitals damaged and
medics are unable to go to work. Many UN facilities sheltering displayed
Palestinians, especially women and children have been hit, killing so
many little children in the city.
The conflict between Israel and Palestine has been going on for decades
but this particular one started on July 17th after Gaza attacked Israel
with rockets following failed peace negotiations. Israel replied with
both air and ground invasion of Gaza City....and the world is just
watching.

hospital tags still attached - wounded by shrapnel. The baby who already
lost his mother, died two days after this photo was taken...Continue...

said last night: 'The attack is yet another gross violation of
international humanitarian law. United Nations shelters must be safe
zones not combat zones. The Israel Defence Forces have been repeatedly
informed of the location of these sites'
