Our government is blocking aid to people that will starve

very soon. Some people are dying in the state-run hospitals.
Many countries have pledged aid, but the banks won't transfer it because they fear US repercussions.
Rejoice, Israel-supporters.
"We've lost four patients in the last two weeks from chronic renal failure due to the lack of drugs for kidney dialysis," Mr. el Habash said. "The situation is getting worse day by day."

US blocking EU aid for Palestinians, diplomats say
Humanitarian crisis on Gaza doorstep: UN
Bush knows why Palestinians elected Hamas in the first place:
Bush: Palestinians voted against corruption
The vote that brought Hamas to power was a vote against corruption, President Bush said.
“Guess what the election was based on? Corruption,” Bush said Thursday in a foreign policy speech. He rejected the thesis that Hamas’ landslide victory in P.A. legislative elections in January was an endorsement of its terrorism and opposition to Israel. He also rejected criticism that the United States should have encouraged the Palestinians to build democratic institutions before holding elections.
You “don’t necessarily have to like who wins,” Bush said. “It was a necessary part of the evolution of a state to have the Palestinian people be able to say, ‘We’re sick of it, we’re sick of the status quo. We want something different. We want a government that’s honest and we want a government that listens to our demands.’ I thought it was a positive development.”

Palestinian refugees give $10,000 to Katrina victims
(Ramallah, West Bank-AP) Sept. 13, 2005 - He says the amount may be small, but it's the thought that counts.
A representative of a Palestinian refugee council Tuesday presented a check for $10,000 to give to Hurricane Katrina's victims. The check is made out to the American Red Cross.
The spokesman says Palestinian refugees donated the money, and that they understand best what hurricane victims are now going through.
US Consul General Jacob Walles accepted the check at a ceremony in the West Bank. He says the gift means a lot, especially because it comes from the poorest Palestinians.
