Latest update from Palestina, from IMC Norway

Israel have occupied most of the West bank now, of the large villages and towns in the West bank it is only Jericho that havent yet been occupied.

The Gaza strip is next on the line, tanks have been positioned around the refugee camps. Nobody knows how many palestinians have been killed in the past days. Red Crescent have ceased all activities due to attacks on medical staff and ambulances.

UN announced yesterday a new resolution that demands complete withdrawal. Israel ignores the international condemnation of the attacks, and the IDF plans to continue full on the occupation and attacks until Colin Powell's arrival next week.
