Do SOMETHING for Ghazza
What can we do for Gaza, you ask. The answer is: work on stopping the
israeli aggression on civilians, call for Israel to respect human rights
laws, demonstrate, send emails, today, the UN security council failed to
pass a resolution, submitted by Lybia the only Arab country in the council
now, to ask for immediate haul of the Israeli military operation in Gaza.
The prokect of the low was rejected because the US refused it, send email,
demonstrate.
UNRWA is the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees
in the Near East, the big fancy name means basically that it is a UN
department specialized in helping Palestinian refugees (and IDPs).
UNRWA is a reliable and LEGAL way for you to donate to help people in Gaza.
Gaza has been under siege for a long time now, that they ran out of fuel, so
transportation is very difficult, and now electricity stopped completely
too, electricity stations ran out of fuel to run them, meaning that now
people are living with no electricty AND not water, water pumping stations
need electricity to work, you know.
Also, hospitals ran out of medical supplies because of the siege and because
of the enourmous ammount of wounded people that are coming in, i lost count,
last time i checked it was 470 people killed, and 2400 injured. That is
enormous pressure on the hospitals, specially that now they have to do with
no electricity too, who knows how much the little fuel they have left, if
any, can run the hospitals' generators. News reports talk about 30% of all
casulaties being women and children.
So, I ask you to visit the website of the UNRWA, where you will find this
message at once:

*Stop the Killing in Gaza*
The Commissioner-General of UNRWA, Karen AbuZayd, expressed her horror to
the extensive destruction visited upon Gaza Strip today and her deep sadness
to the terrible loss in human life. UNRWA, the United Nation's Relief and
Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, strongly urges the Israeli Government
to heed calls for ceasing its bombardment on Gaza. Israel is a signatory to
international conventions that protect non-combatants in times of conflict.
These conventions are worthless if they are not upheld.
