Hello there. Thanks for your e-mails and concern. My family and I are doing
okay. Life in Gaza is so depressing and sad as there are hundreds of people
still live in tents whereas Hamas buys homes and lands everywhere; they pay
the piece more than what it deservs and they pay in cash on the spot.
For Hamas projects they bring from their stores somewhere bricks, cement,
iron bars and what not, so that their construction is up in a short time! On
the other hand there is no kind of any constructive work for those who lost
their homes or private business or farms! In additin to sadenss, poevty is a
characteristic feature of Gaza; thousands of people live on donations from
UNDP and other international NGOs.
Those donations are not more than relief support; its only blanket and food
items or baskets, to sustain living and remain on the margin of life! On the
other hand, hundreds of million where poured in the West Bank economy! In
few days Zein telecommunication is joingi! ng PalTel in a large company for
telephone, mobile and internet services! Meantime, there is nothing in the
news whether Arabic or otherwise about the people of Gaza, the real
sufferers! This is in short!
Take care and God bless you.
