4. Hamas is responsible for not taking truce
Naomi   (07.16.14)
By the way, there were rockets that Hamas fired which landed on Gaza itself. So many damages might be due to Hamas. Never trust the UNRWA.
5. water problems in Gaza
esther ,   efrat, israel   (07.16.14)
If the people in Gaza cared more about the health and welfare of their families than they care about killing Jews, they would expend their resources on infrastructure and social programs instead of on weaonry. How much good could they have done with the money they spent on 9000 rockets?
6. This article is missing crucial information
CG ,   FL   (07.16.14)
You failed to mentioned - Hamas is the one to thank for this one - their own rocket hit their power line!
7. Gazans elected Hamas to make war with Israel.
Daniel ,   Los Angeles USA   (07.16.14)
Gazans are getting the war they want.
8. Serious doubts is pre-judging the case !
Roland ,   london England   (07.16.14)
9. IRC and Pillay
Jacob ,   NZ   (07.16.14)
Screw the Red Cross . . Where were they while Hamas rockets were raining down on Israeli cities over the last five years. The fact that they did nothing constitutes a War Crime in itself, and they should be taken to the IWC as an accessory to Hamas war crimes.
10. garbage. where were these un types when hamas was stealing f
ralph   (07.16.14)
from water programs inorder to build tunnels and rockets and their million dollar homes outside of gaza
11. Gaza facing water crisis in face of Israeli bombings
Tzweinstein ,   Brazil   (07.16.14)
Did UNRWA and ICRC recommend emphatically that Hamas & Co. stop firing rockets on the Israelis so that Israel stop firing on the source of Hamas rockets and life go back to normal? I am appalled to see how efficient the production and distribution of rockets has been in Gaza although Hamas claimed lack of resources to fulfill many primary needs of the population. But we shall overcome, won't we?
12. Is this the same article from 2 years ago?
jrebecca ,   Modiin   (07.16.14)
Did they actually repair the sewer system in between 2012 and now?
13. no drinking water
david ,   kirat shomne   (07.16.14)
the problem in gaza is that they drill wells without thinking the problems over pumping can cause.sea water flows into the aquifers and your left with water to salty to drink.mekorot and iec supply water and electric to gaza.the few families with working wells are making tons of money. I say let them drink the sewer water
14. Remember the song,
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (07.16.14)
"Drowning in my tears"? Wow! Change the word 'tears' to 'shit' and you've got a new song... The pals will now drown in their own waste an unintended, unforeseen consequence of their rapid destruction and no potable water to drink on top of the massive pollution..... Amazing and, I have to admit, brings a slight smile to my face.
15. HAMASwine
Toby   (07.16.14)
HAMASwine are directly responsible for this problem! The majority of peaceful Arabs in Gaza and Israelis want to live in peace, eat falafels and enjoy the great Mediterranean climate, but HAMASwine makes this impossible.
16. We pray for you in Israel
American Hindu ,   USA   (07.16.14)
The Hindu people have suffered a 1000 years of Islamic occupation, genocide, expansionism, and murder. We stand by Israel against the Islamic fanatics.
17. # 16 American Hindu Thank you my friend.
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (07.16.14)
We also stand by you. "He who blesses Israel I will bless he curses Israel I will curse.' Shalom.
18. #16,you too need to get rid of Islamic occupation Hindi land
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (07.16.14)
Pakistan, Bangladesh, Kashmir and Afghanistan. Only reconverting them back to truly peaceful Hinduism with solve all the problems.
19. Gaza facing water crisis in face of Hamas declaration of war
(07.16.14)
20. The World Health Organization (WHO)
Moshe ,   Israel   (07.16.14)
When this UN body, which supposed to be impartial, calls the Gaza Strip "Occupied Palestinian territory", whereas it is ruled by Hhamas, we can conclude how much its descriptions about the situation there could be trusted.
21. #16 If we could only enjoy the inner peace of you
A ,   B   (07.17.14)
hindus. We must suffer through war in order to enjoy peace.
