'How can people live, I wonder?'



'How can people live, I wonder?'

Eight months ago, the Palestinians were celebrating the end of Israel's
military occupation of Gaza. But the artillery shells keep falling and the
economy is on its knees as Israel blockades exports. Has anything changed
for the better? Chris McGreal reports
Since the beginning of last month, Israel has fired more than 5,100 shells
into the Gaza strip from artillery just the other side of the border and
from ships off the coast. The military says the bombardment is aimed at
deterring Palestinian rocket attacks into Israel from open fields, but the
artillery fire has killed six Palestinian civilians, including two children,
eight-year-old Hadeel Ghaen and 15-year-old Mamdouh Obaid, and wounded 60
others, including 21 children.
