It's heartbreaking. CNN has footage of destruction in Gaza and interviews a journalist who has personal ties to Gaza. It's about six minutes and well worth watching.
Reportedly, hospitals aren't functioning well, food is in short supply, and power outages are prevalent (Gaza Today). More than 1,700 are wounded, many of whom are civilians. Of the 360 people killed, more than 60 are women and children.
The United Nations Chief has "demanded an immediate cease-fire in Gaza and urged Mideast and world
leaders to do more to help end the Israeli-Hamas conflict and promote
political dialogue." It'll be interesting to see what sort of responses the demands elicit. (Truthout)
Thanks to Firedoglake for posting the video.
