"The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) has launched an appeal for $15.84 million from the international community for Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip refugee camp of Rafah.

Monday's plea follows weeks of what the aid organisation described as the most intense destruction in Gaza carried out by Israeli occupation soldiers since the start of the Intifada in September 2000."

"A total of 21,142 people have been made homeless since 30 May this year because of Israeli invasions, added UNRWA. The organisation has been able to build shelters for less than one third of them.

Nearly $38.5 million is needed for housing in Gaza.

Following the raid, Hansen toured the damage in Rafah and warned that the camp faced an "extremely serious humanitarian situation that is much worse than other that had been characterised as disasters."

3. Israel really screwed up this time !!!!!

Snipe hunt for weapons. They endangered their own soldiers for now reason.

Seriously, they need to build that wall on the green line and get the hell out of the Palestinian territories. Palestine won't get ANY better. But no one will be able to blame it on Israel.
