[Bethlehem, April 3, 2002 at 12:10 (GMT +2)]
The Israeli occupation forces are still in Bethlehem until the moement of writing this report.
The number of the Martyrs is still unknown. The Israeli soldiers are not allowing Media people, Medics or food supplies to reach the town. More than 150 are taking refuge in the Church of the Nativity. Food and Medical supplies are cut for about 36 hours. The only ambulance that tried to reach them was crushed by Israeli tanks and
the crew were lightly injured.
In the church, so far there are 38 injured 4 of them are critical and one has been bleeding for a long time.

The Family of Sami Abdeh are suffering a serious problem.
The Israeli soldiers shelled their house killing the mother (around 60 yers old) and her son (around 38 years old). The house is full of children and they are in a hestirical situation. I have seen their pictures now on TV. The scene is horrible. This Famliy had to stay with their dead dear since yesterday morning.
I will try to provide you with Photos,, one TV station managed to cinside their house.
