Anyone with a shred of humanity who watches the video we feature below will do all they can to join the national demonstration in London this Saturday 10 January, and will encourage everyone they know to be there too. In the video a Norwegian doctor working in a Gaza hospital he calls "Dante's Inferno, hell", describes how Palestinians - particularly the children, who are 50 percent of the population - are dying and suffering horrific injuries for the crime of being civilians living in Gaza. "They cannot flee as other populations can in war time because Israel has them trapped in a cage," he says. WATCH THE VIDEO HERE http://www.stopwar.org.uk/ OR HERE http://tinyurl.com/9d572c Over 600 Palestinians have been killed and over 3000 injured. The numbers are rising sharply following the ground invasion. If Britain with a population of 60 million was Gaza, the proportionate number of deaths would be 24,000, with over 120,000 injured. Israel has also systematically destroyed Gaza's infrastructure. Two thirds of the people have no electricity and 750,000 have no running water. Hospitals are running on emergency generators, which are expected to fail at any moment. There is a desperate shortage of essential medical supplies. Many people are on the brink of starvation because the United Nations, on which 80 percent of the population depends for emergency food, has run out of many supplies and because it is too unsafe to transport what is still available. As the Norwegian doctor in the Gaza hospital says, "This cannot go on. It is an all out war against the civilian population." Please do all you can to communicate the same message as widely as possible and help make Saturday's demonstration the largest ever mounted for Palestine in this country.
