The head of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa) said the pictures showed nothing more than a stretcher and the Israeli accusations were malicious propaganda that endangered the lives of UN workers. Peter Hansen has acknowledged that some of Unrwa's 24,000 Palestinian employees were probably members of militant groups but he did not see that at a crime. Read here for more

  • The hypocrisy of America's fight against terrorism is on display in the United Nation's Security Council today. Israel is NOT penalised for terrorising and killing innocent Palestinian civilians.

    America CANNOT win the war against terrorism with its continuing veto in Security Council to protect Israel and condoning Israel's crimes against humanity. It will fuel terrorist attacks on United States' interest.

    United States must disengage its blind support to its ally, Israel. The Bush Administration is hemorrhaging US credibility and making a mockery of its foreign policy in the Middle East.

    The U.S. vetoed a resolution in the United Nations Security Council demanding that Israel end military operations in the northern Gaza Strip and withdraw its forces, saying the text failed to criticize Palestinian rocket attacks launched from the territory.

    It was the fifth U.S. veto of a resolution on the Middle East since March 2002.

    Altogether, five Palestinians were killed and 14 injured in Gaza by Israeli troops today, the Palestinian Red Crescent said on its Web site. B'Tselem, an Israeli human rights group, estimated yesterday that the Palestinian dead included about 31 civilians, including 19 children.

    In the past week, five Israelis were killed, including the two children.

    The UN said today that 82 Palestinians have been killed since Sept. 28, and described the Palestinian population as being in ``a deep crisis.''

    UN aid agencies asked for Israel to ensure access to Gaza for supplies and relief workers.
