My mind was liberated over Gaza in 2006 when I read an article by Father Manuel, the parish priest at the Latin Church and school in Gaza who informed the world four years ago:
"Gaza cannot sleep! The people are suffering unbelievably. They are
hungry, thirsty, have no electricity or clean water. They are suffering
constant bombardments and sonic booms from low flying aircraft. They
need food:
bread and water. Children and babies are hungry...people have no money
to buy
food. The price of food has doubled and tripled due to the situation. We
cannot
drink water from the ground here as it is salty and not hygienic. People
must
buy water to drink. They have no income, no opportunities to get food
and water
from outside and no opportunities to secure money inside of Gaza. They
have no
hope.
"Without electricity children are afraid. No light at night. No oil or
candles...Thirsty children are crying, afraid and desperate...Many
children
have been violently thrown from their beds at night from the sonic
booms. Many
arms and legs have been broken. These planes fly low over Gaza and then
reach
the speed of sound. This shakes the ground and creates shock waves like
an
earthquake that causes people to be thrown from their bed. I, myself
weigh 120
kilos and was almost thrown from my bed due to the shock wave produced
by a low
flying jet that made a sonic boom.
"Gaza cannot sleep...the cries of hungry children, the sullen faces of
broken men and women who are just sitting in their hungry emptiness with
no
light, no hope, no love.
