Bloody Day in Gaza

By Sameh A. Habeeb

More than 230 killed, hundreds injured due to Israeli bombings against Gaza


Gaza Strip, 28, Dec, 2008- Saturday morning started as usual but dramatically changed by 11AM. Sixty Israeli F16 bombarded around 100 police stations, civil and governmental offices across Gaza Strip. The bombardment which simultaneously took place left 160 people killed and around 3 hundred wounded. A number of wounded is expected to die while many corps still under the rubbles of buildings.

Palestinian victims were amalgamation of policemen and civilians who were visiting some police stations for civic affairs. Al Jawazat police station witnessed the bloodiest Israeli attack in which around 70 killed mostly policemen. The victims of police of Al Jawzat were holding a graduation ceremony for new young police groups.

A family of 9 members, 15 young children, and some women were killed but not recognized. Ministry of Health is not able to recognize the ID's of casualties. Tawfiq Jaber, Director of Gaza police was killed in the air raids along with Ismail El Jabari head of security section in the police. Governor of central Gaza governorates and camps was killed as Israel hit his car.

Ma'waya Hasanian, head of Emergency and Ambulances said that around 230 people killed and 200 injured. He added that a big number of victims was civilians from women, children and old people. Civic cars referred wounded civilians to the hospitals due to lack of medical cars and vehicles.

Gaza hospitals announced inability of receiving wounded due to lack medical equipments and tools. Corps of Palestinians threw on the corridors, rooms and units of hospitals. Meanwhile 2-3 wounded victims shared one bed due to lack of medical equipments resulted in Israeli siege imposed 2 years ago. Basim Nai'm, Health Minster in Gaza said that Gaza medical sector needs tens of medical equipments and tools.A number of 70 wounded were referred to Egyptian hospital.

According to Naser Al laham, Chif-Editor of Maan News Agency said that around 60 Israeli warplanes carried out the Massacre which surprisingly took place in Gaza.

The raids targeted all areas of Gaza Strip, cities, villages and towns. The hit cities are Gaza, Rafah, Khanyonis, Nusairat, Maghazi, Bait Lahia, Jabalia, Bait Hanoun. Refugee camps of Jabalia, Al Shati', Rafah an mid areas were targeted as well. Some of the destroyed compounds included Palestinian prisoners under penal for criminal issus.

The Israeli bombings is flagrantly violating all laws which call for protecting civilians. This was so obvious from the number of civilian casualties. The brutal bombings happened in time of school children were going home after a normal day of study. A considerable number of children were killed, but medical soruces didn't announce official numbers in this respect. Identities of killed people are still unknown but few ones.

On the other side, Israel officially announced the start of a full-scale military operation in Gaza. She has called on settlers to go down to bonkers bordering Gaza after 1 Israeli killed and several injured in a homemade rocket fired from Gaza.

Israeli official Television broadcasted footage of the settlements hit by Gazan fighters and ironically ignored what's happening in Gaza. The television stated that today's military operations is the start for a long-term massive war actions against Gaza. Israeli army named the operation in Gaza " Lead Pouring Out " which entirely means surprisingly decapitation of Palestinian factions in Gaza.

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak declared the 20 square kilometers of Gaza a "special military zone." The classification is one degree below a declaration of total war against an enemy state. The announcement was made Saturday morning.


Israeli channel 10 announced that the current situation does not amount to a declaration of war, but the operation against the Gaza Strip is intended to last throughout Saturday and perhaps into Sunday. It asserted that Israel prepared an operation that could take several weeks. Preparations have also been taken to contain any expected response in the West Bank.


Ehud Barak said that this operation would roll out in all Gaza's areas and it will last for a longer time. He vowed of a painfull military strike of Hamas pinting out "there is a time for peace and time for War." According to Barak the operation aims at topple down Hamas government and stopping the homemade rockets.

Maan Agency reports: Israeli sources also asserted that the operation would not topple Hamas, but rather will ensure that homemade projectiles from the Gaza Strip will stop. This was confirmed in a statement released by prime minister's office, as well.

Regional efforts are being exerted to pressure on Israel to immediately stop the war crimes perpetrated in Gaza. Turkey expressed its deep anger towards the surprising actions done by Israel. Turkish government held a meeting to discuss the possibilities of reaching truce. Premire of Turkey, Abdallah Gul, condemned the Israeli brutal actions in Gaza.

Meanwhile Syrian President, Bashar Al Asad, Yamini Presdient Ali Abdallah Saleh called for an immediate meeting for Arab league to discuss Gaza's situation. Additionally Qatar and the Sudan called on that too. An expected session for the United Nations would be heled upon a request from Arab countries.

On the popular level, demonstrations took place in the West Bank cities, Lebanon, Egypt and Jordan. Lebanese people protest ahead to Egyptian embassy in Bairot considering it as part of siege on Gaza.

Israel warcraft still hover on low distance on Gaza vowing of a hot night!

كنت أجلس أفكر عن موضوع أكتبه في مدونتي من أجل Blog Action Day 2008حول موضوع الفقر، واثناء جلوسي على الكمبيوتر بدات أتصفح بريدي الالكتروني، ويا للغرابة فلقد وصلتني رسالة من صديقة لي تحتوي على صور لاطفال من دول مختلفة يعانون من أسوء مظاهر الفقر والجوع. أخذت أشاهد هذه الصور وانا افكر، لماذا عندما نشاهد مثل هذه الصور، نقول يا حرام، مساكين، الله يساعدهم، وقد يدمع بعضنا في بعض الاحيان. ولكننا هل نقوم بشي ما بعد اظهار هذه المشاعر،التي لا أقلل من أهميتها، ولكن كيف يمكن ان يستفيد منها هؤلاء الاطفال، كيف يمكن ان تخفف من جوعهم، وألمهم، وبكائهم وفقرهم؟!.
ان المبادرات مثلBlog Action Dayو Stand Against Povertyو غيرها من المبادرات، لا تذكرنا بشيء لا نعلمه او لم نره، بل انها تشجعنا ان ناخذ موقفا من قضية الفقر ، وغيرها من القضايا المحلية والعالمية. وقد يكون هذا الموقف او العمل الذي نقوم به اما على مستوى شخصي او فردي، مثل التبرع ببعض المال او اطعام فقير وغيرها او على مستوع اعلى كالمشاركة في هذه المبادرات لنسمع صوتنا للجميع وايضا من خلال تجميع جهود الشباب من أجل القيام بمبادرة او عمل فعال في مجتمعاتهم تتناول قضية الفقر.
ان عام 2015، هو العام الذي حدده رؤساء الحكومات من أجل تحقيق الاهداف الانمائية للالفية، والتي تتناول احداها القضاء على الفقر المدقع والجوع، فأين نحن منها الان؟ اعتقد اننا كشباب علينا دور كبير في هذه القضية ولكن في البداية يجب ان نكون واعين بها،وبما يحدث من حولنا من أحداث، ان نكون واعين بدورنا كشباب، فلا نجلس غير مكترثين بما يعاني منه الاخرين او نحزن عليهم فقط، بل علينا ان نلتزم، ونبادر ونعمل.. هنالك عدد من الافكار التي اضافها موقع Blog Action Dayحول الاعمال التي يمكن ان نقوم بها
http://site.blogactionday.org
..
كما يوجد على موقع TakingITGlobalعدد من الادلة الخاصة بالعمل الفعال والتي قد تساعدك على القيام بمبادرة او عمل فعال في مجتمعك حول قضية الفقر.

http://www.takingitglobal.org/action/guide/
..

انا شخصيا سألتزم بان اقوم بدفع مبلغ معين لعائلة فقيرة، كما سأضيف موضوع على ساحة الحوار على موقع TakingITGlobal حول موضوع الفقر وكيف يمكن للشباب ان يكون لهم دور للحد من هذه الظاهرة، بالاضافة الى البحث عن مشاريع شبابية في الوطن العربي تتناول قضية الفقر، وكيف يمكن لـTakingITGlobal ان تشارك بها.
فماذا ستلتزم وتفعل انت؟؟
