In Jan, 2008 an Israeli fuel blockade stopped food from reaching Gaza. In December 2008, Israeli blockade ‘forces Palestinians to search rubbish dumps for food’. It is no wonder that when people are starving they get desperate and resort to sending rockets at their enemy in an attempt to protect themselves. Now a Norwegian doctor working in Gaza says that this Israeli offensive is an “All out war against Gaza civilians”.

The good doctor reports that a large percentage of casualties are to woman and children. “Where is the International community?” … “This is a complete disaster”.
