Survivors who made it to Gaza City earlier this week reported that 100 members of an extended family had been rounded up by the IDF on Sunday, and ordered to stay in the house belonging to Wael Samounoi. Early Monday morning, the house was shelled repeatedly. The report notes that ambulances had attempted twice to go out to the home, but had to retreat when they were fired upon by the Israelis. During Wednesday's three-hour lull, the ICRC convoy was able to reach the home. Fifteen survivors were located and taken to hospital by ambulance. Rescue workers were forced to leave eight other wounded people behind, due to safety reasons. <div style="clear: both;"></div> </div> <div class="post-footer"> <div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-1"> <span class="post-author vcard"> Posted by <span class="fn">Laura</span> </span> <span class="post-timestamp"> at <a class="timestamp-link" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090113202015/http://justpeacenow.blogspot.com/2009/01/massacre-in-gaza.html" rel="bookmark" title="permanent link"><abbr class="published" title="2009-01-07T14:24:00-08:00">2:24 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class="reaction-buttons"> </span> <span class="star-ratings"> </span> <span class="post-comment-link"> <a class="comment-link" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090113202015/https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3541591233888017978&postID=5492278035174017669" onclick="">0 comments</a> </span> <span class="post-backlinks post-comment-link"> </span> <span class="post-icons"> <span class="item-action"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090113202015/http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3541591233888017978&postID=5492278035174017669" title="Email Post"> <img alt="" class="icon-action" height="13" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20090113202015im_/http://www.blogger.com/img/icon18_email.gif" width="18"/> </a> </span> <span class="item-control blog-admin pid-55497363"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090113202015/http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3541591233888017978&postID=5492278035174017669" title="Edit Post"> <img alt="" class="icon-action" height="18" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20090113202015im_/http://www.blogger.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif" width="18"/> </a> </span> </span> </div> <div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-2"> <span class="post-labels"> Labels: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090113202015/http://justpeacenow.blogspot.com/search/label/OPT%3B%20Human%20Rights" rel="tag">OPT; Human Rights</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090113202015/http://justpeacenow.blogspot.com/search/label/Zeitoun%20massacre" rel="tag">Zeitoun massacre</a> </span> </div> <div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-3"> <span class="post-location"> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class="post hentry uncustomized-post-template"> <a name="6953765138258492942"></a> <h3 class="post-title entry-title"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090113202015/http://justpeacenow.blogspot.com/2009/01/gaza-today-root-cause-of-extremism-and.html">Gaza Today: "The Root Cause of Extremism and Battlefields of Tomorrow."</a> </h3> <div class="post-header-line-1"></div> <div class="post-body entry-content"> The lull is over for today.

But it happens, and has happened for years. And because so many bad things happen in war, nearly 200 countries have ratified the Geneva Conventions, among them Israel. So whenever an Israeli spokesperson justifies bombing civilians by blaming those who fight among them, they are ignoring this: Protocol 1, Art. 51 of the Fourth Geneva Convention:<blockquote>4. Indiscriminate attacks are prohibited. Indiscriminate attacks are: (a) those which are not directed at a specific military objective; (b) those which employ a method or means of combat which cannot be directed at a specific military objective; or (c) those which employ a method or means of combat the effects of which cannot be limited as required by this Protocol;<br/>and consequently, <span style="font-weight:bold;">in each such case, are of a nature to strike military objectives and civilians or civilian objects without distinction.</span><br/>5. Among others, <span style="font-weight:bold;">the following types of attacks are to be considered as indiscriminate: (a) an attack by bombardment by any methods or means which treats as a single military objective a number of clearly separated and distinct military objectives located in a city, town, village or other area containing a similar concentration of civilians or civilian objects; and (b) an attack which may be expected to cause incidental loss of civilian life, injury to civilians, damage to civilian objects, or a combination thereof, which would be excessive in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated</span> (my bold). </blockquote> My dream list of Hague guests is growing by the day. <div style="clear: both;"></div> </div> <div

Oxfam-supported Palestinian health company was killed Sunday and his colleague badly injured when their ambulance was destroyed by an Israeli shell. Oxfam<br/>GB Country Director John Prideaux-Brune, in Jerusalem observed:<br/><blockquote><br/><br/>Hospitals in Gaza are overflowing with dead and wounded while facing severe shortages of essential medical supplies and spare parts. Oxfam and local partners have had to suspend all our work, apart from emergency medical aid. Many of our colleagues in Gaza are trapped in their homes, and in fear of their and their families' lives. Others, such as the paramedic Arafa, have lost their lives trying to save others. </blockquote><br/><br/>He noted that 80% of Gazans rely on humanitarian aid and that the "trickle" that has been allowed in through the single available crossing is inadequate. Reuters adds:<br/><blockquote><br/><br/>Oxfam is calling for a binding UN Security Council resolution to demand: an immediate halt to violence in Gaza and Israel by all parties, all parties to commit to an immediate, comprehensive and permanent truce, Israel, Hamas and other parties to permit immediate and unhindered access<br/>to and from Gaza for humanitarian and commercial goods, and for people, thereby ending the blockade.<br/>Oxfam is also calling on the European Union to suspend the EU-Israel upgrade process until there is a comprehensive ceasefire in Gaza, and Israel provides unimpeded humanitarian access.<br/><br/>Reuters <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090113202015/http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/fromthefield/SaveChAlli/e8c67384708586826fa1e36d8575a222.htm">Alertnet</a> also notes that Save the Children<br/><blockquote><br/><br/>is calling for a peaceful solution to the current crisis that endangers the life of nearly every child in Gaza, and the lives of Israeli children in areas subject to attacks. Thousands of children, who are already suffering from the physical and psychological effects of the violence, are now facing an increased risk of malnutrition due to acute food shortages.</blockquote><br/><br/>These agencies can use your support: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090113202015/http://www.oxfam.org/en/emergencies/gaza">Oxfam</a>; <a
