Gaza – Saturday, July 12, Day 5 of the attack

The insane Israeli bombardment has not stopped. It has been going on all night and all day, every day and everywhere, coming from the sea, from the air and from land canons. Naval bombardment is pouring its lava, targeting the coast of Gaza City and further north. Numbers of the killed and injured continue to go up.

More homes are being destroyed.

A whole population is being subjected to collective punishment. This is not only a matter of war crimes. We are now facing a real genocide in Gaza.

(Written Between 3am and 4 am early Wednesday morning, July 9, 2014.)

The Israeli warships continue shelling ...it is dark. I do not know what is going on and I can hear successive bombing.  I am thinking of all the people I know tonight, especially my colleagues at the
hospitals who are working under severe pressure and lacking basic medical supplies.  Stay strong.
