"It's Hell in Here" "They are Bombing 1.5 million People in a Cage"

"It’s Hell in Here" "They are Bombing 1.5 million People in a Cage"

CBS News broadcasts an interview with a Norwegian physician on the scene in Gaza.

He says he has seen one military casualty come into the hospital. Of 2500 wounded, 50% are women and children. Doing surgery around the clock. There are injuries you do not want to see– children coming in with open abdomens, with injured legs, we had to amputate both of them. This is a war on the civilian population of Gaza. It is a very young population. They cannot flee. They are fenced in. They are bombing one and a half million people in a cage.

Please write CBS News and thank them for their journalistic integrity in running this piece.

Casualty toll in Gaza as of Monday morning from the Mizan Center for Human Rights.

Apparently the Israeli military trained on this online video game.

Also please write your representative and senator, send this link, and demand that the US intervene diplomatically to stop this atrocity.
