| Inside Story - Gaza humanitarian crisis - Nov 14 - Part 1 - 690 sec Inside Story questions the 'blame game' being played by the parties while the people of Gaza continue to suffer.
Israel has refused permission for a convoy of trucks containing basic humanitarian supplies to deliver their loads to the Gaza Strip. Initially, the authorities had said they would allow passage for the 30 truckloads of drugs and food.
As the United Nations warns that it is going to run out of food for its aid programmes, all the parties, Hamas, Fatah, Israel and Egypt are blaming one another for the mounting humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.
Israel has said that as long as rocket fire continues from Gaza into Israel, the border crossings will stay closed. The UN insists that this amounts to collective punishment, which is illegal under international law.
Christopher Gunness, the spokesman for the UN refugee agency UNRWA, said: "This has become a blockade against the UN itself." Tags: Al Jazeera Inside Story Gaza humanitarian crisis Israel rockets blockade UNWRA United Nations  |

Wake up from utopian artifice long way the glass

Burning ghettos Wake up from utopian artifice Long may the glass houses break Art Of war wields wards to break break break! Wealthy, cultivated thieves breed futures of uncertainty power lusts for empowered trysts We're their sacrificial lambs The reap us to sow seeds of
Affluence We're their sacrificial scabs Watch Out! There's fire in the Hearts of the unsung Long may the glass houses Break! Long may the glass houses break! Angels Of the

| Haiti Food Crisis - 494 sec June 2008
Haiti is facing a major food crisis as riots break out in the capital Port-au-Prince. Five people have died, the Prime Minister was forced to resign and authorities fear the worst is yet to come!
All produce, even eggs, are imported here, leaving Haiti at the hands of the global market. Although blessed with fertile land, farmers have no machinery and are forced to use their hands. A farmer says "we cannot compete with other farmers who have the technology to back them". People are even eating mud cookies to relieve hunger. The Haitian government have turned to International crisis funds for immediate food relief but what will happen in the long run?
