The situation in Palestine where the human rights of Palestinian people are violated every day cries out for international action, yet not a move.
And the news about the occupied lands and the "Israeli" violations have been abundant over the years, yet so little is the response to such bloody and hawkish actions that deprive innocent people from their least and most basic rights. 

 Starting with Palestinians who were forced to evacuate their homes, which recently made headlines throughout media, the International Middle East Media Center Website posted an article that contains a press release from the Jerusalem Center for Social and Economical Rights (JSCER) dealing with this topic. 

  It stated that the "Israeli" authorities in Al Quds (Jerusalem) are not only evacuating Palestinians from their homes but also forcing Jerusalemite Palestinians to demolish their own homes. "Israeli" authorities forced 18 Palestinians families to demolish their homes since last July rendering 136, mainly women and children, homeless. In addition, 10 Palestinians were forced to demolish their own homes and 70 Palestinians became homeless last month.

The press release said the residents are forced to do so because if Al Quds (the Jerusalem) municipality demolishes their homes using its equipment and workers it sends them the bill. Usually the bill mounts to dozens of thousands of "Israeli" Shekels. The center added that the areas that are the focus home demolitions in the Old City, Jabal Al Mukabber, Silwan and At Tour.

It further said that there are dozens of pending demolition orders in Jerusalem, in addition to hundreds of orders targeting additions to existing homes.
Moreover, Inadequate infrastructure, lack of equipment and a shortage of hospital staff are contributing to the deterioration of hospital care for all patients particularly mothers and newborns in Gaza, according to a July 2009 assessment by the World Health Organization (WHO) in Jerusalem.

IRIN news and analysis says, the "Israeli" blockade affects the supply of medical equipment and conditions in the maternity wards, and perpetuates the isolation of healthcare professionals, making it difficult to maintain international standards of practice," said Tony Laurence, head of the WHO West Bank and Gaza Office in Jerusalem.
"Ten types of essential medications for maternal care, like Prostin gel that induces labour, are out of stock," said Munir Al-Bursh, head of Gaza's Department of Pharmaceuticals, adding that they were unable to import spare parts for ultra-sound equipment and Computed Tomography (CT) scanners.

Also on lack of medication and supplies due to the blockade, the Electronic Intifada (ei), a July 2009 report published by the World Health Organization (WHO) in Al Quds (Jerusalem) says doctors and nurses do not have the medical equipment to respond to the health needs of the 1.5 million people living in the Gaza Strip.

Medical equipment is often broken, lacking spare parts, or outdated, and the lack of proper medical care in Gaza can have dire consequences.
In Gaza, only cancer sufferers get ONLY painkillers. "The largest number of deaths due to the siege is among cancer patients," Gaza deputy health minister Hassan Halifa said. "Radiotherapy for cancer patients is not available due to the lack of equipment, and chemotherapy is generally not available due to the lack of drugs."

Another problem for medics in Gaza is the irregular electricity supply, which affects sensitive medical equipment such as incubators and kidney dialysis machines.

Hospitals in Gaza use uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems as backups, but they require batteries which are often not available due to border closures with Israel and Egypt, according to WHO.

Now the poor are becoming poorer in the Gaza Strip. Despite the humanitarian assistance received, there is no reduction in poverty. A report for the institution of developments studies (IDS) in Gaza states that more than 80% of Palestinians families live under the poverty line, with 44.6% of them living in complete misery.

The Palestinian Telegraph tells us about Hanan, a Palestinian citizen, like many other women living in the Gaza strip, has taken up work as a housekeeper since the war ended.
Hanan's husband has been unable to find work, which has left her being the main provider in the household. Her household consists of her husband and nine children.
"The money gained from my work isn't even enough for our basic necessities such as food and education; I can hardly buy clothes or shoes for my children." Hanan has resorted to asking her employer for any clothes or shoes, even if they are not suitable, so that she might alter and give them to her children.

Hanan's story is not unique, unfortunately. The horrible conditions, in which Palestinians live, as a result of the siege and Gaza war, have led many to take up positions they would have never considered in the past. Hanan, like many others who have taken up similar work, wishes to take a rest. Until the siege ends, it will remain only a wish because life is better than death.

On the military brutal level, "Israeli" soldiers brutally attack a number of peace activists, who were documenting an overnight raid on a Palestinian house in the West Bank town of Bil'in, according to PRESS TV.

 The incident happened in the early hours of Thursday as 25 "Israeli" soldiers, with their faces painted black, were raiding the house of Mohammad Abu Rahma -- a member of the village's Popular Committee against the Wall and Settlements.

A number of International Solidarity Movement (ISM) activists were present at the scene with one of them filming the raid, which saw the "Israeli" soldiers breaking into the house, beating Rahma and dragging him out all the way to the separation wall where they dumped him into one of the vehicles that were waiting for them.

During the course of the raid, the "Israeli" soldiers attacked the ISM members, brutally beat two of the peace activists and broke their camera. One of those battered was cameraman Haitham Khatib who lives in the village, International Middle East Media Center (IMEMC) reported.
"Israeli" soldiers conduct overnight raids on Palestinian houses in the West Bank on a routine basis.
For the past five years, Bil'in residents have been continuously protesting against the de facto annexation of more than 50% of their farmlands under the excuse of constructing, also known as the Apartheid Wall.
In another incident, the "Israeli" military kidnapped four Palestinian civilians in the southern West Bank city of al-Khalil (Hebron) on Thursday morning.

Such incidents of brutality and violence whether by "Israeli" troops or even settlers prevail in the Palestinian Occupied territories but they always get away with it. 

According to the complete investigation file obtained by Haaretz, despite the video footage and the international public outcry it generated, the Judea and Samaria police are closing the case of a severe beating of three Palestinians by masked settlers, without having managed to produce even a single suspect. 

Last but not least of new items we picked today is from Al Quds newspaper. As the holy month of Ramadan has arrived on Muslims around the world, so it did on the Gazans of whom tremendous numbers cannot put food on the table.
Many Palestinians below poverty level welcome the month of Ramadan with empty houses and struggle to get food aid "coupons" from the different humanitarian organizations, whether local or international in order to at least break the fast at dusk. After hours and hours of trying so hard, they go back home with empty hands...
Of course the three year blockade has led the situation to deteriorate on all levels. But now the main concern of the Palestinians is to bring some food at least for the children who await their parents at the end of the day.... And yet tens and tens of stories of the Palestinian agony stay in the dark and stay unknown to the world.
