Video : Gaza under siege. Jordan Flaherty and Lily Keber, The Electronic Intifada, 26 August 2009
Six months after Gaza was devastated by a 22-day Israeli military offensive, rebuilding has barely begun.The range of destruction is breathtaking. Schools, health clinics, houses and the basic infrastructure of both public services and government have been destroyed. "The siege is near total," says John Ging, Director of UNRWA in Gaza. "In terms of its restrictions on supplies allowed into Gaza, in essence what is allowed to come in are the basic humanitarian supplies."
No concrete, tools, or other building materials are allowed in.Watching this video strengthens the resolve of the Free Gaza movement to send cargo ships to this beleaguered population to help them rebuild their shattered infrastructure.
