Against the wall in Gaza...Day Two
Click to
enlarge
Gaza has more than 2000 orphans,
like these two we met today.
Click to
enlarge
No humanitarian crisis, the Israeli
government says...
Click to
enlarge
Yet people are forced to live in
shelters like this.
Click to
enlarge
Inside, the kitchen
Click to
enlarge
and adjoining bathroom
Click to
enlarge
have been serving this family since
1947.
Click to
enlarge
A few streets away this abode has a
front door of sorts
Click to
enlarge
which leads to six rooms,
Click to
enlarge
four of which each house a family of
5 to 7 members
Click to
enlarge
whose women make the best
Click to
enlarge
of their kitchens
Click to
enlarge
and living quarters
Click to
enlarge
but this family has only one room for
everything - bedroom, kitchen, bathroom in one
Click to
enlarge
They are the lucky ones - others'
homes are totally destroyed, with no shelter
Click to
enlarge
or they cobble one together with
whatever they can salvage from the bombed-out
buildings.

Does Netanyahu live like
this...
Click to
enlarge
eat this diet of oranges
Click to
enlarge
and a few onions
Click to
enlarge
because the olive groves have been
razed
Click to
enlarge
and once-productive land is now
waste-land
Click to
enlarge
unable to be returned to productivity
because building materials and agricultural supplies are
not permitted to enter Gaza.
Click to
enlarge
and the fishing boats lie idle,
fishermen forced to surf-cast because if they go more than
1000 yards out to sea they are fired on by Israeli
warships
Click to
enlarge
such as this - so close to shore that
I could photograph it .
Click to
enlarge
so men such as this cannot feed
their families.
Click to
enlarge
and the people have only each
other
Click to
enlarge
to rely on.
Click to
enlarge
and only one message.
Click to
enlarge
No humanitarian crisis...tell that to
these 300 orphans
Click to
enlarge
Plenty of food - I don't think
so.
Click to
enlarge
A future...only if the
democratically-elected government receives the
international respect and support it
warrants.
