SOS calls from the Jenin Refugee camp!

SOS calls from the Jenin Refugee camp!  The camp, 1 km squared, home to
approximately 15,000 people is being attacked by air and land.  Contacts in
Jenin City report heavy black smoke rising from inside the camp.  Friends
inside the camp are reporting heavy bombardment by tanks and helicopter
gunships.  Bulldozers have also been brought into the camp and are
demolishing homes to make way in the narrow streets of the camp for tanks to
enter.

"We have no electricity and no water.  Our water tanks have been destroyed
from the intensity of the Israeli bombardment.  Our wives are crying and our
kids are screaming.  There's no television to distract them.  All they are
hearing is the explosions all around them. Where is the conscience of the
world when we are being massacred and no one is intervening to stop it?" –
Jamal Abu Al-Haije, resident of Jenin Camp

Dr. Ali Jabareen of the Jenin Hospital reports that they need help reaching
the injured and dead.  People are being left to bleed in the streets and
other people are being buried under the rubble of their homes.  No idea how
many people are dead.  The hospital ambulances are not being allowed to
move.  UNRWA and the International Committee of the Red Cross are not able
to function.  Is there anyone to help? To contact Dr. Ali Jabareen, please
call: +972-4-250-2653/4

Reports from Nablus are that they have also brought bulldozers into the
Balata Refugee Camp.

Random explosions throughout Ramallah.  Difficult to know what is being
blown up.

Innocent Palestinian civilians are being terrorized and killed. The
international community has an obligation to stop this massacre.  Will we
wait until it's over to say that we're sorry?
