Homeless in Gaza and a feat of clay


GAZA CITY (AFP) – All of Amer Aliyan's hopes of rebuilding his life are placed in a carefully folded sheet in his wallet, a document that for the foreseeable future in Gaza is nothing but a worthless piece of paper.

"I'm waiting for the reconstruction, but I know it will take time," the 36-year-old says.

This is a gross understatement in the besieged and impoverished Gaza Strip where an Israeli blockade is preventing the rebuilding effort after the devastation caused by a brief but deadly war at the turn of the year

  1. Yes, "Annie's Letters" is an excelent blog, but its focus is different than ours. Probably a lot more informative on Palestinian issues that this blog, but also in a more narrow way. In my view we try to link Middle Eastern issues with what goes on in the rest of the world and try to establish a link between such issues and global phenomena.

  4. I'm very comfortable with the truth.
     
    Truth: The more the jihadis engage in terror and bloodshed, the worse it gets for them. They don't believe it so they continue.
     
    Oh well. :-D
