Al Mezan Center
According to information verified by Al Mezan Center, at approximately 3:35pm yesterday, Tuesday 6 January 2009, the IOF fired four artillery shells in the vicinity of Al-Fakhoura School, which UNRWA had opened as a shelter for displaced civilians who escaped the fighting in north Gaza. Three shells landed and exploded in an open area opposite to the southwestern schoolyard. The fourth landed 50 meters west to the school, directly hitting two houses, which are inhabited by the families two brothers; Mu'in and Samir Deeb. Most of the members of these two families were killed. In all, the shelling killed 39 civilians immediately, and three others died at hospital from their wounds, raising the number of casualties to 42; including 13 children and 6 women. Another 50 civilians were also injured in this attack. Of whom, 15 were children and 10 women.

Mr. Ging said the three Israeli shells impacted right up against the boundary of the school and both he and Mr. Holmes said the conflicting reports underscored why an independent investigation of the incident was so necessary.

Gaza: The Case for Middle East Peace

Amre Moussa, Secretary-General, League of Arab States
Some brackets to say that We are against
anything that would affect children,
women, civilians, even Palestinians or Israelis.
And then,
continuing to say,
that this situation in GAZA and in Palestine.
It is a situation of foreign military occupation.
So people in siege and blockade,
Gaza is living within a blockade,very severe one.
The west bank is under military occupation,
with barriers,
with colonies, that settlements.
So the Palestinians are trying to express themselves
to find a future for themselves.
You cannot ask people in Gaza,
living in starvation and hunger
because of the blockade,
the very sinister blockade.
And then,
ask them to be calm,
and ask them: "Why
do you throw stones against your occupiers?"
It is against the nature of people,
against the nature of people.
You strangle them,
You starve them.
And ask them to be quiet?
And then,
as has been discussed now,
The question of smuggling.
Of course smuggling is illegal,
illicit trade,
illicit movement of things, commodities and so on,
including perhaps arms.
You strangle them -
not a single window of opportunity -
and then,
talk to them about illicit trade.
If you want to prevent this,
you have to open the crossing points,
you have to give them food,
you have to give them water,
to give them medicine.
It is a miserable life that the Palestinians have lived
and that, until now, are living in Gaza.
Because of the blockade that Israel has imposed on them for three years now.
