Dying children among Palestinians trapped in Iraqi border camps: UN

Geneva - Children in need of urgent medical care were among more than 1,400 Palestinian refugees still stranded on the Iraqi- Syrian border after fleeing Baghdad, the UN refugee agency UNHCR said Tuesday. Two children needed cancer treatment, one young man was about to lose a leg because of a blood disorder, and another needed lifesaving surgery for a hole in his heart, UNHCR medical teams found on a visit to the al-Waleed camp. Canada was the only country so far to have responded to appeals to accept the refugees, none of whom felt they could return to Baghdad. "We seem to be a voice in the wilderness that nobody is listening to," said UNHCR spokeswoman Jennifer Pagonis. "Conditions for these refugees are deteriorating by the day." It was impossible to provide proper medical care in the snake- and scorpion-infested border camp without proper access to clean water, sanitation and shelter. Last week a group of armed men had demanded supplies from the refugees. UNHCR repeated appeals to the international community to help the 15,000 Palestinians still left in Iraq.

Wake the f**k up people! Governments DO NOT CARE about people period!!!!! They only care about controlling and maintaining power. Iraq is destroyed probably never to heal and most likely to break up. Israel/Palestine hate each other guts, refuse to acknowledge the rights of the other and want to 'wipe the other off the map' which Israel is winning. The U.S. is locked in a faked 'war on terror' which feeds the Empire dreams of our leaders and sends the populce on their knees begging for 'security' at the cost of freedom turning the U.S. into the new Soviet State.To paraphrase Bush Sr. "Soldiers are OFU's one fodder unit. The people are less than that."

I'm sorry for them, but it seems that in the past, the Palestinians have accepted money - and then bit the hands that helped them. Not only that, but any money sent, is never used for civilian aid, for water, food, or medicine.
It is used for weapons for the leaders.
This happens over and over. Each time, they point fingers of blame at others. It's the Jews fault. It's the Americans to blame. It's the West to blame.
Now, they voted in hamas and celebrated in the streets. Now they see the results. When are the Palestinian People, themselves, going to take responsibility for their own problems?
They hate the Jews so much, they hate the non-moslems so much. They've even learned to hate each other - their women, their children, see how the Palestinians abuse them.
This problem started WAY before Israel, way before even the U.S. came into being, WAY before the Crusades ( in fact, the Crusades only began as a defense, because the islamics were invading Europe).
Fact is, then the Arabs, now Palestinians, swept into that area, and took somebody else's land. They shouldn't point fingers, it was the Arabs that stole other people's lands.

When are the Palestinians going to learn to live side by with others? When are they going to compromise?
Why should we accept blame for this problem of the Palestinian? Should hamas and fatah now take care of their own, after all, they have $ millions. THEY are the ones to give care to their Brothers.
AND BY THE WAY, I DON'T SEE THE OTHER ISLAMIC COUNTRIES RUSHING TO GIVE BASIC HELP IN FOOD AND WATER AND MEDICINE TO THEIR FELLOW ISLAMICS!
