Palestine Lives
Nasser Jaber is a chicken farmer in Rafah ,southern Gaza.He and his brothers had spent 18 years building up the business which produced 45,000 eggs a day. He did not belong to any political grouping or armed faction.
A few days ago at 4am two Israeli armoured bulldozers and an Israeli military unit enterd the chicken farm and spent four hours bulldozing it down to the ground.
When they left they left piles of rubble,twisted metals sheets , and thousands of dead chickens in the ruins of what had been a thriving million dollar business.
Mr Jaber's workers are now trying to pull the putrifying dead chicken out of the rubble before they cause further disease and an awful stench.
The Israeli army is steadily destroying farmland in Gaza .It is ripping up land,bulldozing green areas and orchards and destroying farms and farm buildings.
