Dear Editors, Journalists and Friends,
Most of the Gaza Strip plunges into deep darkness since the start of
this war. I find several hardships to send out this report due to
power problem. Today, a rocket targeted my uncle’s house. My house got several splinters and rocket shrapnel. Thanks to God, we all safe but I don’t know what will happen next. I live east of Gaza, Toffah area, where artillery shells rained down every single moment.

Led by the Israelis and Americans, we humans are entering another Dark Age.
The daily scenes from Gaza are harrowing, despicable. They are the result of the handiwork of pathological killers who are armed and supported by the majority of Americans.
Israel and America pull the whole of humanity down to their level.
We may not rise again!

Maybe it is this;
`According to the Israeli daily Haaretz, the weapon was launched from drones in the summer of 2006, most of them in July, and led to “abnormally serious” physical injuries. Physicians in the Gaza Strip noted the pattern of wounds they were treating were unusual, with severed legs that showed signs of severe heat at the point of amputation but no metal shrapnel.`
