| UNRWA Forced to Suspend Gaza Assistance Due to Lack of Funds | | by UNWRA -
IMEMC
"Gaza, 27 January 2015: UNRWA has been forced to suspend its cash assistance programme in Gaza to tens of thousands of people for repairs to damaged and destroyed homes and for rental subsidies to the homeless... It is easy to look at these numbers and lose sight of the fact that we are talking about thousands of families who continue to suffer through this cold winter with inadequate shelter. People are literally sleeping amongst the rubble, children have died of hypothermia”. USD 5.4 billion was pledged at the Cairo conference last October and virtually none of it has reached Gaza. This is distressing and unacceptable.” ca | 30/1/2015 |

| Potemkin Villages at Erez Checkpoint | | Tamar Fleishman - The Palestine Chronicle - They, who had been
attacked by IDF soldiers, injured and killed by IDF soldiers, and lost
their homes and all they had because of IDF soldier, saw this hospital
as a cynical exploitation of their situation.
“What are they thinking? They shoot and kill us and we are supposed to
kiss the hands that put bandages over the injuries they created and
thank them?” a resident of the Strip said to me. “Even if I or one of
my kids or relatives were injured during the war, we wouldn’t dare
step out of the house, go out of the neighborhood and cross the line
towards the soldiers to get to the hospital. Because if I tried
getting there they would kill me while I was still on my way”.-rh
