Hi there,

Independent media is more important than ever. Speaking up and telling the truth is becoming increasingly dangerous. Because we are only sponsored by you—not by governments or corporations—we can continue to bring you courageous journalism in a landscape filled with disinformation. If every person who came here for news this month gave just $15, we would be fully funded for a year. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!

Israeli Court Limits Entry of Wounded Gaza Residents

HeadlineJun 21, 2007

Meanwhile, Israel’s High Court has rejected a motion for immediate entry of all Gaza residents in need of life-saving medical attention. Israel has allowed at least 35 Palestinians, but some 25 remain stranded at Gaza’s crossing with Israel. Sari Bashi of the Israeli human rights group Gisha urged the Israeli government to allow them entry.

Sari Bashi: “Since Thursday Israel has closed the borders of Gaza, no one can leave. These are patients who if they don’t enter Israeli hospitals immediately, their life is threatened. Because Israel continues to exercise control over Gaza’s borders, it has an obligation to let patients receive life-saving treatment outside of Gaza.”
