Suhaad Abu Jarad is comforted after fainting
while mourning the death of her son, police officer Yasser Abu Jarad, 28,
who was killed on Sunday, injuring 16 others when an Israeli artillery
fired the northern town of Beit Hanoun , Gaza Strip, April 9, 2006.
Israel has stepped up their attacks in response to Palestinian rocket
fire from Gaza causing up to 15 deaths ovr the past few days alone.
Both the USA and the European Union (EU) annouced that they are cutting
off direct finanical aid to Hamas until it renounces violence and
recognizes Israel. According to the UN Relief and Works Agency, a
creeping humanitarian disaster is overwhelming the Palestinian people
due to prolonged Israeli policies of systematic closures, blockades
and continued violence. |
