Medical delegation from Physicians for Human Rights (Israel) enters the Gaza-strip.Salah Hay Yihyeh - PHR - First and foremost the lack of basic medicines and medical supplies are stressed. Essential medication for cancer patients is lacking, and a long list was presented to the delegation. But even basic medication, such as pediatric paracetamol syrup has been absent for one month. Essential medical equipment is unavailable. For instance, the CT-apparatus in Khan Yunis European Hospital has been out of order for 10 months, because of missing spare parts. In Nasser Children`s Hospital the CT machine is non-functioning since there is no money for repairs. In Al-Shifa Hospital no blood tests could be performed for one month because of lack of necessary materials. 24/2/2011

Today in Palestine--Headlines February 11, 2011Shadi Fadda--In wake of fourth demolition, Tana villagers vow to rebuild Nablus - PNN 10 Feb - On Wednesday, Israeli army bulldozers demolished all but the mosque in the tiny village of Tana, east of Nablus, because it did not have the required permits. On Thursday afternoon, the villagers began to rebuild. This is their fourth time. Thirty-five buildings in all were destroyed, most of them makeshift houses constructed of metal siding, pipes, and blue tarp. Now most of the roughly 200 villagers made homeless by the demolitions must move to nearby caves as winter winds and rain buffet this mountainous region of the West Bank. Livestock sheds were destroyed, so five thousand sheep are shivering. Nobody, however, is leaving Tana. "This is my life," said one man, who did not want to be named for fear of reprisals. "I was born here and I have my children here. I won’t leave." http://english.pnn.ps/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=9540&Itemid=62 13/2/2011
