Palestine Lives Israel controls all the crossing points into and out of Gaza.They control these points with machine guns,tanks and all the other military hardware it needs to lock down a city of over a million people. Just a few days ago in the south of Gaza Israeli soldiers fired live ammunition at a protest of some 2000 unarmed Gazan who were demanding that the crossing into Egypt be opened so that food,fuel and other essentials could enter Gaza and of course so that the residents there could also have freedom of movement. The demonstarion was fired on at some 13 Gazan Palestinian were shot and injured adding yet more casualties to the severely overcrowded and under resourced hospitals which are struggling to obtain power,medicines and other necessities. As for the suggestion that a patient with brain cancer be moved hundreds of metres in a narrow sand tunnel it doesn't really hold up to scrutiny does it? DAVID
