Aid reaching Gaza, but U.N. says it’s not enough
Israel allowed dozens of trucks carrying relief aid into Gaza on Monday, but the United Nations said the aid will not be enough to alleviate a worsening humanitarian situation as Israel’s military assault on Gaza enters its third day.
Israeli military sources said 50 trucks carrying humanitarian aid crossed into Gaza on Monday through the Kerem Shalom border crossing and more are expected to cross later in the day.
"We had about 40 trucks yesterday, we hope [to have] about 100 today," said Karen AbuZayd, the commissioner-general of the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA).

The Israeli’s are giving out false information!! The aid is less than what they are saying. They are closing borders and not allowing for medical supplies to reach the people of Gaza. Ramming the Dignity and not allowing for aid to reach the strip is not peaceful!
They also claim radio announcments were made to tell the people of Gaza to leave before the attacks started. THIS IS FALSE! And even if they did where do they expect 1.5 million people to go if they are closing all borders????
Using U.S. supplied F-16 jet fighters, Apache attack helicopters, and other U.S. supplied weapons, the Israeli occupation forces bombarded densely populated civilian centers in the Gaza Strip, killing more than 380 and injuring over 1700, many critically. The casualties are unarmed women, children and other civilians, not militants. In what dictionary are graduates at their ceremony militants? How are patients staying in a hospital wing that was hit saturday militants?
I am outraged at U.S. Senators, U.S. Representatives and the Bush Administration for allowing, without condemnation, Israel’s flagrant military aggression on unarmed Palestinian civilians. The mass murder of unarmed civilians not only violates all American values but is also in violation of humanitarian law.
These actions of Israel have flagrantly ignored international law and the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949. Article 33 of the convention specifically prohibits this type of collective punishment by stating that no person “be punished for an offence he or she has not personally committed”. In addition the Fourth Geneva Convention prohibits the disproportionate use of force; however, this assault is not less than disproportionate.
The American government needs to condemn Israeli’s terrorist actions. They need to pressure Israel to halt all military operations in Gaza and to immedietly end the siege by opening borders, allowing for food and medical supplies to enter the region.
The United States should demand that Israel’s current aggression in Gaza with its indiscriminate bombings and border closings be stopped. These actions can only be characterized as collective punishment as 1.5 million people are suffering from this onslaught. Clearly, 1.5 million people are not guilty of committing “offences”.
It is time for our government and all other world leaders to stand up for justice and equality rather than special interests.
