DIARIES: LIVE FROM PALESTINE

PALESTINE : DIARIES: LIVE FROM PALESTINE:

THE LONGEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE
By Safa Joudeh, Live from Palestine, 28 December 2008

Here's an update on what's happening here from where I am,
the second night of Israeli air (and sea) raids on Gaza.
It's 1:30am but it feels like the sun should be up
already. For the past few hours there's been simultaneous,
heavy aerial bombardment of Gaza City and the northern
Gaza Strip. It feels like the longest night of my life.
Safa Joudeh writes from the besieged Gaza Strip.

PALESTINE : DIARIES: LIVE FROM PALESTINE:

GAZA: "THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING"
By Ewa Jasiewicz, Live from Palestine, 28 December 2008

Majid Salim, stood beside his comatose mother, Fatima.
Earlier today she had been sitting at her desk at work at
the Khadija Arafat Charity, located near the headquarters
of Hamas' security forces in Gaza City. Israel's attack
had left her with multiple internal and head injuries, a
tube down her throat and a ventilator keeping her alive.
Majid gestured to her, "We didn't attack Israel, my mother
didn't fire rockets at Israel. This is the biggest
terrorism, to have our mother bombarded at work." Ewa
Jasiewicz reports from the besieged Gaza Strip.
