"GAZA (Reuters) - Children raced to help parents collect food from U.N. aid
distribution centers in the Gaza Strip as women sat in the shade near trucks,
waiting for their names to be called to receive their food rations.
The enclave’s isolation has deepened since the Islamist Hamas group routed their
Western-backed rivals to seize control last month. Israel, effectively at war
with Hamas, has sealed off key border crossings, stifling trade and forcing
thousands of Palestinians to seek handouts from U.N. aid bodies."
What these people need is peace. Hamas needs to start to talk to Israel and find a path to peace, it needs to talk to Fatah and find a path to coming back together. The violence in the region is bad for Israelis and it is bad for Palestinians. It just so happens that since citizens of the Gaza Strip are poorer, they face the greatest loses. If Hamas cared about its people it would put aside its ideas of pushing Israel out of the Middle East, and accept a two state solution.
