Say No To Killing in GAZA
195 children have been killed in Israel's war on Gaza: medics |

Mehr News Agency) - So far 195 children have been in the Israeli blitz on the Gaza Strip, Palestinian medical officials say. Gaza health officials say that since the onslaught began on Dec. 27 more than 550 Palestinians have been killed and 2,500 wounded. Televised images of wounded and murdered civilians, especially children, have caused outrage across the world, especially the Islamic world. Eleven members of one family, including five children, were killed in a northern Gaza City neighborhood early Monday morning after Israeli soldiers ordered them to leave their home, medical officials said. Civilian deaths are likely to rise as the Israeli forces move in on the narrow city streets and refugee camp alleys. "Usually you have people trying to flee the area of conflict," said John Ging, the head of the United Nations refugee agency in the Gaza Strip. "But they don't have this choice in Gaza because they are trapped in a very, very densely populated area." Backed by the U.S., the Israeli leaders have so far refused international calls to stop the war on the densely populated, starved and besieged coastal strip. On Monday, Israel's Prime Minister Ehud Olmert rebuffed pleas by French President Nicolas Sarkozy and a European delegation to call a temporary halt to war to head off a deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza. On Saturday, the U.S. blocked an effort by the UN Security Council to issue a statement calling for a ceasefire. UN humanitarian chief John Holmes has called the Gaza strife an "increasingly alarming" humanitarian crisis. He said Gaza is running low on clean water, power, food, medicine and other supplies since Israel began its offensive. The Israeli army is pounding Gaza from the air, land, and sea. |
