    Killing siege by John Cheria   CED Backup Copy

    Life in Gaza is close to a collapse as Israel continues with its blockade, depriving the population of food and basic amenities. FROM all available indications, the international community seems to have forgotten about the existence of Gaza and the million and a half people who have been living there under siege for a year and a half. As the global economic crisis and the developments in Iraq, Afghanistan and South Asia held centre stage, the Israeli government moved to deprive the citizens of Gaza recourse to basic necessities such as food, medicines and drinking water.

The real problem lies with the implementing agency, the police.
