I think it is absolutely atrocious.
Stocks of food, medicine and oil have dwindled to dangerous levels.
Prices have skyrocketed and already malnourished children bear the brunt of the military action.
This blockade is preventing the flow of persons and commerce including food, medicine, oil and water.
There are now 250,000 displaced people and the arbitrary aerial bombing of civilian areas and a strict blockade of food, medicine and international aid has cost thousands of lives.
On top of that there were the mass arbitrary arrests and the murder of hundreds of peaceful protesters.
This blockade has to stop.
I hope that Turkey and Ireland will send hundreds of boats to break the blockade.

OK......
That was Northern Yemen were people are dying because of a naval blockade by Saudi Arabia and a blockade on land by South Yemen.

Now to Gaza for some tragic news.....
In 2004 Gazans were among the most well-fed people on earth. Gaza ranked #3 for women and #8 for men among countries with the world’s highest obesity rates.

I am sorry to say but it has not improved
A December 2008 report by the International Association for the Study of Obesity found that
23.9 % of men were overweight
42.5 % of women were overweight
To put that in perspective, the percentage of overweight men is about the same as in Australia and England and the women are still in the top 5.

One thing is for certain, if obesity levels in Gaza turn out to have decreased since December 2008, the media will blame it on Israel.
Unless obesity levels have increased, that is.
In which case the media will blame it on Israel.
