Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Thousands Mark Death of Palestinian Girl in Gaza

HeadlineApr 12, 2006

In Gaza, thousands of Palestinians marched Tuesday at the funeral of a young Palestinian girl killed by an Israeli rocket shell. Four-year old Hadeel died when Israeli forces fired on her house in the Northern Gaza Strip Monday. 12 people, including five children, were injured in the attack. Meanwhile, the US, Canada, and the European Union have now all cut off financial aid to the Hamas-led Palestinian authority. The aid freeze will continue until Hamas renounces violence and recognizes Israel. On Tuesday, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas renewed his calls for direct negotiations with the Israeli government. Israel says it will speak to Abbas but will not engage in final status peace talks.
