Red Cross Distributes Aid In Gaza

HeadlineJul 07, 2004

In Gaza, the Red Cross has begun distributing food and medicine to hundreds of Palestinians who have been trapped in the town of Beit Hanoun for a week. Since the Israeli army took over the town last week, Palestinians report more than half of the farm land in the area has been destroyed including thousands of orange and lemon trees. Israel entered the area after Palestinians launched a fatal rocket attack on southern Israel.
