Report from Gaza, Sunday 29/12/2008
From a comrade, member of the greek intifada collective who is now in Gaza.
(Translation in english by me)
Yesterday the bombarding was continuing throughout the day. After the bombing of a pharmaceuticals storage building 100 meters further from where I was sleeping, and a iron craftwork shop on the same street, other targets were also hit, among them and the old government building. Before sunset multiple hits were made. We got on the roof top and were looking at the tunnel area to be hit by bombs. I took a video as well, I will try to post it.
We left to go there, although I was personally thinking that it is very dangerous because there are thousands of tunnels and the bombings would definately continue. I was surprised to see that the people were also approaching the area rather than leaving. They were trying to take advantage of the fact that the egyptian guards had left so they were trying to break the wall and pass to Egypt. Suddently gun shots could be heard. The Egyptians were firing. The palestinians got angry and responded with stones against them. Later as it was getting darker, gunshots became more frequent. At a point an explotion was heard, possibly by palestinias who managed to destroy a part of the wall.
For quite long during the night gun shots could be heard, we could also see fireworks thrown from Egypt (in order to create light and see if palestinians were still around). The Egyptians are actively trying to keep the borders closed. The israeli are trying to cut any replenishment routes that existed. Not only the ones of Hamas but also the roadway that food and medicine was passing, the appropriate humanitarian aid for the survival of 1,5 million of palestinians, IN THEIR MAJORITY CHILDREN.
At a point bombing started again. Throughout the whole night we were jumping from our beds because of the missiles that were hitting on various areas. The spy aeroplanes are flying all the time making a characteristic noize. On occasions, different aeroplane engines can be heard, these are the F16 approaching. This is when you should be careful. The windows must be half opened in order not to break from the thrust wave. This means that we are freezing to death, because the luxury of heating does not exist.
The bombing continues. During the night I think that the Town Hall got also hit. Also again the borders area. Nomatter the continues bombings the most people remain calm. The roads are not empty as someone would think. When a target gets hit everybody goes there to help, to see if there are any wounded. I have seen men in uniforms and guns, being completely calm, although they know that they will be a target if an invation will happen, and they are certain that they will die. One thing is certain, Israeli troops will have to fight, they will meet strong resistance. This is why they have not invaded yet. They try to kill and terrorize as many people as possible, safely, with air strikes.
A friend was listening to the radio. Someone was having a “resistance” speech. I was told that he was the leader of Hezbollah Nasrala (spelling?) from Lebanon ….
I am also told that the Islamic University is hit. They bomb houses full of families, mosques that people go there to pray. They bombed suddently first day at noon, when all the streets were full of thousands of young kids who were going or leaving school. They try to create the biggest chaos possible, in order the public to get shocked, but to seem as they are only hitting Hamas on the same time.
——————–
Do something. React. The people here are dissapointed by the arab countries. They expect support and solidarity from elsewhere. React. Get on the streets, at the organized demos. Throw a stone if neccessary it must be a demo not a funeral… The israeli here are throwing missiles all over the place. Throw some stones do something ! Here in Palestine people were seeing the uprising in Greece because of the one murdered kid and were saying “bravo !. But all these for one dead kid… here we have thousands …..”
