Took long enough!!!

Israel allowed several hundred Palestinians with foreign passports to flee Gaza on Friday, even as its warplanes bombed a mosque it said was used to store weapons and destroyed homes of more than a dozen Hamas operatives.

The evacuees told of crippling shortages of water, electricity and medicine, echoing a U.N. warning of a deepening humanitarian crisis in the besieged Gaza Strip in the seven-day-old Israeli campaign. The U.N. estimates at least a quarter of the 400 Palestinians killed by Israeli airstrikes on Hamas militants were civilians.

Jawaher Hajji, a 14-year-old U.S. citizen who was allowed to cross into Israel, said her uncle was one of them — killed while trying to pick up some medicine for her cancer-stricken father. She said her father later died of his illness.

    • They did not just let 'the people out that wanted to leave', flowerboy.

      The only ones *permitted* to leave were people with foreign passports. Try to actually read an article before posting a flower.

    • We keep dedicating images to show our concern to all the innocent victims of the Gaza war, and to their families on both sides of the wall.

      So they know.... They are not forgotten!
      I hope one day they know people in America did care.

      I will not post as many in the future (I am editing an existing one, but I feel it's important to not treat their deaths like they were fumbles at a football game either. It's meaningful.)

    • I am surprised that Israel allowed the few to leave with all of the violence happening, they were strict prior to these attacks, very strict on the daily crossings for all between the borders for the Palestinians.
