help the people of Gaza - ANERA
http://www.anera.org/help-people-gaza-now-sm/
Help the people of Gaza find relief from this nightmare.
For the third time in five years, families in Gaza are caught in a nightmare of bombings and destruction. There is a short supply of medicine, food, drinking water and safe places to take refuge. Your donations can deliver relief to these families.
In a crisis like this, ANERA responds at our fullest capacity. But our response is limited by the amount of money we have available. Without your help, we will reach fewer people.
Your donation is critically needed to:
- Deliver medicine and supplies to hospitals and clinics.
- Purchase and deliver food to displaced families.
- Rebuild damaged hospitals, clinics and schools.
- Reconnect homes to drinking water in communities hit hard by bombs.

AL Shifaa Hospital in Gaza: Not a Place for Dying

AL Shifaa Hospital in Gaza: Not a Place for Dying
BY PT EDITOR ON ·
Al Shifaa Hospital is one of the largest health centers in Gaza. It works round the clock to face an escalating situation on the ground, as a result of the Israeli attacks. It is faced by logistical and financial challenges; coupled with a relentless effort by medical teams, the police, and the community and hospital workers to provide medical services under dire circumstances.
As the death toll rises and the number of civilian casualties continue to increase, medical teams continue to provide the best care they can for their patients. Dr. Ashraf al Qidrah, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Health, explains: “despite their low salaries and their concern for their own lives; medical teams continue to provide services to all people of Gaza.
The tragic situation in the strip overshadows the doctors themselves. According to Dr. Qidrah: “ Dr. Majdi Naeim who was handling emergencies back in November 2012, when Israel was attacking Gaza; found himself handling the body of his own dead child Abed al Rahman”.
Israeli attacks eradicate families by the dozens and cause hundreds of severe causalities. Al Qidrah explains:” Medical staff has to deal with molten or mutilated bodies and second and third degree burns. All this affects their psychological wellbeing and increase their ability to handle stress”.
He adds: “the health sector is in serious need for medicine and consumables; especially those that are for emergencies and intensive care. 30% of the basic medicine is not available and 55% of the medical consumables are non-existent. Moreover, the lack of fuel for electricity generation results in our disability to respond to emergencies. Many times, we face the situation of being unable to dispatch an ambulance. Add to this that the hospital can become a target at any minute”.
At the moment, there are no solutions to the lack of medicine, fuel and medical consumables. According to Dr. al Qidrah: “there is no real support, we hear many promises in the media. But in reality nothing materializes. Nevertheless, we are determined to fulfill our duty until the last breath. This is national and ethical obligation. Yet, we demand that the government be accountable to all Palestinians without discrimination. Salaries should be paid to doctors, nurses and technicians.”
He concludes by asking: “if the National Reconciliation government will not play that role in this crisis; then who will?”
In the meantime, the policemen reside in a small room at al Shifaa to guard the building and help civilians.
Ayman al Batniji; the police spokesperson; explained: “we provide assistance to civilians. We have had a considerable experience during the past Israeli attacks both in the streets and within organizations. Currently we provide our services to 121 economic, financial, political and diplomatic organization in Gaza.”
He added that police officers facilitate the entrance of cases to the hospital and prevent “suspicious individuals” from using the facility. “Some individuals come to identify the dead or the injured and they are not next of kin. So we prohibit them from doing that.”
“We cannot leave the hospital or else it will be overcrowded out of panic. Our duty is to organize the use of the service in such a way so as to address emergencies.”
Security forces and police have not received their salaries from the government. According to Batinaji: We should be serving the people and we will not neglect our duties due to financial reasons.”
Scouts volunteer at al Shifaa too. Bilat al Halimi, a lead scout describes their work: “we transport those who are injured in civilian cars to the emergency room, by carrying individual in a proper way and providing first aid”.
The hospital cleaning staff shares the sense of duty with everybody else. Nabil abu Aqlain, the cleaning supervisor stresses the importance of his staff work and their ability to maintain the cleanliness of the hospital, in addition to carrying out all errands requested by the medical staff. He points out that he hasn’t got his salary for the past four months.
This is a glimpse of the situation at al Shifaa Hospital. One of many health facilities that face the harsh conditions in Gaza.

Journey From A Palestinian Refugee Camp to America
http://jamalkanj.com/Home.php
read it in google-books
http://books.google.de/books?id=nqfon41eWSMC&pg=PT4&lpg=PP1&dq=Children+of+Catastrophe:+Journey+from+a+Palestinian+Refugee+Camp+to+America&hl=de
A great deal has been written over the years on the Palestine-Israel conflict, and the creation of the Palestinian refugee problem. However, few works on the subject really present the personal aspect: What is it like to be a refugee? What propels a decent human being to take up arms, to become a freedom fighter or a "terrorist?"
This book reveals the story of my journey from childhood in Nahr El Bared Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon, becoming a PLO activist, eventual emigration, a new life as an engineer in the United States, and a 'return' trip to historic Palestine.
Running parallel to the personal narrative, the book also documents the story of Nahr El Bared itself: the story of a refugee camp that grew from an initial clump of muddy UN tents to become a vibrant trading centre in north Lebanon, before its eventual destruction at the hands of the Lebanese army as they battled with militants from Fatah Al Islam group in the summer of 2007.
Throughout it all, the spirit of the remarkable people of the camp shines through, and the book provides a moving testament to how refugees in Lebanon have managed to persist in their struggle for their "right to return", as well as survive socially, economically and politically despite more than sixty two years of dispossession, war and repression.
The book illustrates how refugees are able to remain uniquely Palestinians, and to survive socially, economically, and politically during the hypothetically “temporary” resident status in Lebanon. The refugees have indefatigably remained part of a nation, without the state. Israeli writer Danny Rubinstein said it best when describing the Palestinians in his book:

Every people in the world lives in a place. For Palestinians, the place lives in them.My promise is a story that will move you emotionally and challenge you intellectually. It is heartrending, yet joyful. In this book, I invite you to a journey into the daily life of a refugee to discover hope and the “place” that lives inside every Palestinian.

EL MURO DE HIERRO - film
Publicado el 29/07/2012 por ARNULBA
Documental : El muro de hierro
Director : Mohammed Alatar
Año : 2006
Idioma : inglés, subtitulado en español
Nos preguntamos por qué los palestinos, cuyo derecho de retorno fue firmado por las Naciones Unidas hace más de medio siglo, están aún atrapados en un limbo terrible, refugiados en sus propias tierras, controlados por Israel en la más larga ocupación militar de los tiempos modernos.
"El Muro de hierro", se expone la situación a la cual se haya sometida el pueblo palestino por las fuerzas militares de ocupación del Estado de Israel.
Ocupación que cuenta con el consentimiento, incluso con el visto bueno, de parte de la Comunidad internacional.
Muestra con toda crudeza el sistema de "apartheid" al que están obligados los palestinos a pesar de que el Tribunal Internacional de la Haya declaró ilegal el muro desde el comienzo.
El documental también nos muestra que hay judíos y judías de conciencia que no aceptan que tales monstruosidades sean practicadas en nombre de todos los judíos y que, por eso, se ponen del lado del humilde pueblo palestino en su intento por recuperar su libertad.

Al-Rowwad Cultural and Theatre Training Centre
What is Al Rowwad Center
Al-Rowwad
Center is an Independent Center for artistic, cultural, and theatre
training for children in Aida Camp trying to provide a "safe"
and healthy environment to help children creativity and discharge
of stress in the war conditions they are forced to live in
Background on Aida Camp - Bethlehem
Aida Refugee
Camp accommodates about 4,000 people (around 650 families) who
took refuge to it in 1948 and later in 1967 from 35 different
villages in Palestine as the result of the two Arab-Israeli wars.
This camp, like the other 21 camps in west bank and the 8 camps
in Gaza strip, as well as the other camps in Jordan, Lebanon and
Syria, was established with tents as an emergency and temporary
camp, but have been transformed to a permanent stage of refuge.
Since the problem of these refugees was not resolved, United Nations
began, in 1951, the construction of small houses made of one or
two rooms, and a small kitchen (rooms of 9-12 m2, and ~2 to 2,5
meters high). However after years and years of waiting, the refugees
could not live in these temporary shelters created by the UN.
Most of the shelters started to fall down. People, mostly poor
and not able to buy a piece of land outside the camp, started
reconstruction inside the camp of new houses. They became refugees
on their own land, in their own country. Since the space is very
limited in the camp, and no possibilities of horizontal expansion,
the construction expanded vertically. That's why the camp lacks
children corners and playgrounds where children could eventually
play. After 53 years of living in this refugee camp, as well as
for other refugees in other camps, people know that this is a
station in their life; they are still dreaming and asking for
the application of the UN resolutions concerning the right of
return to their own lands occupied and taken by Israeli state
in 1948 and 1967. Till now, the community international plays
the blind role concerning the Palestinian refugees.
Around 40% of its population is children under the age of 18, with equal distribution between males and females. The camp has two schools run by UNRWA, one for boys and another for girls (till the end of preparatory classes- age 15). There is also a youth center and a kindergarten run by the local community. The camp is located at the northern border of Bethlehem. Its main entrance is closed by cubes of cement, placed by the Israeli Army at Rachel's Tomb (originally a mosque - Mosque of Bilal Ibn Rabah- and converted into a synagogue in 1967), which composes a military observation point next to the camp. The Gilo settlement, build mostly on the lands of the Palestinian town of Beit Jala, which is bordering the camp from the north and north west as well as the Rachel's tomb observation point at the eastern side, both constitute a serious threat to the people of the camp through frequent harassments, shooting and shelling.
