Sorrow, sadness and death in Gaza 2009
What Gaza looks like on Jan. 1st, 2009? Death is everywhere in Gaza.
Sorrow and sadness is the address of the new year 2009. There is a smell of blood and carnage! Every minutes witnesses new bad news; bangs, bombings,
missile hissing, collapses, devastation, Israeli drones, Apaches and other choppers, F16s, land shakes under us; destruction everywhere, dead bodies,
mutilated parts, crying children and mothers searching for their kids and husbands; no one knows where to go or where to hide! No safe haven under the
Israeli attack. Even civil society establishments were targeted; the ministry of justice, the ministry of education, the ministry of culture have
been destroyed! Mosques were badly hit with six of it became something of the past. Dozens of the homes around those mosques were devastated and
shattered; people dies and injured. Until today, the first of January 2009, more than two thousands were injured and more than 420 have been killed in
the attack. This number included more than fifty children. Today, more than 20 air raids were executed on Gaza city only! The latest of the attacks
destroyed a four floor building killing at least 15 people in Jabalia refugee camp! As I am dispatching this message, 5 floors building has been
demolished in Sheikh Radwan to the north of Gaza city, by an Israeli warplane minutes ago! I cannot follow up with the news of bombing with a
third large explosion right now!
