Chris Gunness, UNRC Spokesman: "Life in Gaza is a Living Hell.
Just saw Mr. Gunness on CNN. He spoke eloquently about the nightmare that life is for Gazans.

You can donate to UNRA at this link. UNRA is getting desperately needed supplies into Gaza and they have 6 distribution centers there.

Here's a link to MercyCorps which is also providing aid.

If there was some leadership in this worthless administration, stuff like this might not be happening. Business as usual and the status quo doesn't cut it anymore!!

3. Are you really asking where that hapless little creep is?
And let's face it: Condi and bushco support the massacre in Gaza.

4. bushco still has plenty of time (17 days) to cause or continue further chaos and destruction........
throughout the world. I have very high hopes for BO and his right hand woman, HRC. Together they can bring peace to this desperate region. Unfortunately, worthless condi is all we have for the next 17 days.

5. And she's as bad or worse than having nothing.
I wish I had your confidence that Obama and Clinton can bring peace to the region, but I don't. Without radically changing our tilted support of Israel, the situation will continue to be dire.

8. Agreed. RADICAL changes of tilted support must happen for there to be any hope of success.

Also Physicians for Human Rights-Israel are seeking funds for basic medical supplies. British Shalom Salaam Trust are collecting donations for them. You can donate here, and ask that the money go to this group:

7. Thank for adding that LB
It's sad to me that the threads that garner most attention on this issue are the inflammatory ones.
