THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE TO THE RIGHT OF RETURN
Statement, National Committee to Commemorate the Nakba at 60, 15 May
2008

To the People of Palestine, Whether you live within the
"Green Line," in Jerusalem, the West Bank, Gaza, or in
exile, you shall return, there is no doubt that you shall
return. Today the skies will echo as you state with one
united voice: "There can be no alternative to our return,"
all sounds will melt away as your voice rises to say
"There can be no peace without our return to our original
lands and homes.

SIEGE HITS PALESTINIANS BEFORE THEY ARE BORN
By Mohammed Omer, The Electronic Intifada, 15 May 2008

GAZA CITY, 14 May (IPS) - The Israeli siege of Gaza that
has restricted access to food, water and medicine is now
beginning to hit unborn children and newborn babies. "Many
babies are born suffering from anaemia that they have
inherited from their mothers," Dr. Salah al-Rantisi, head
of the women's health department at the Palestinian
ministry of health in Gaza told IPS. And the mothers are
becoming anemic because they do not now get enough
nutrition through pregnancy.

PHOTOSTORY: SHATTERED REMAINS
By Adam Beach, The Electronic Intifada, 15 May 2008

"There is, here, a timeless present, and here no one can
find anyone. No one remembers how we went out the door
like a gust of wind, and at what hour we fell from
yesterday, and then yesterday shattered on the tiles in
shards for others to reassemble into mirrors reflecting
their image over ours." Adam Beach's photographs document
life in the occupied territories.

GAZA LIVES BEING PUT AT RISK
Report, PCHR, 14 May 2008

As the grueling Gaza fuel crisis continues, so does the
strain on local public transport services, including
ambulances, across the Gaza Strip. Approximately 15
percent of local public services are operating across
Gaza, whilst up to 90 percent of private cars remain off
the roads, and all of Gaza's 450 fuel stations remain
closed. The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights speaks
with medial professionals working under siege.
