From Gaza with love

Salamat from Gaza

The humanitarian situation in Palestine is going downhill rapidly. This weekend 14 Palestinians were killed and 30 injured in Israeli missile attacks on Gaza. Karni crossing closed last Tuesday which has stopped the flow of goods into the Gaza Strip. The Israeli government has imposed a complete blockade of Gaza and the West Bank, and cut off all relations with the Occupied Territories.

I am highly concered about the health situation in general and children’s health in particular.

I do believe that this is the right time for all of you to react in solidarity with Palestinian people under occupation, organising demonstrations, writing to your MPs etc... whatever activities you decide are appropriate to support us.

Please show your solidarity as you have always done.

Palestinian people should not suffer collective punishment for their choice of Hamas. They should not be punished for voting against corruption, occupation and American policies in the Middle East.

The sanctions against the Palestinian people I simply call: A FRANK VIOLATION OF DEMOCRACY.

In solidarity,
