Really Bad News
Anees called several moments after I posted that last message. Practically the entire town turned out for the demonstration. As they made they way down Sea street (the main road from the town sqare) to Tel Al Sultan an Apache helicopter opened fire on them and fired a missile into the crowd. Anees is currently trapped there while ambulances race to and from the scene. No way of knowing figures at the moment but Anees thinks maybe twenty dead. As I was speaking to Anees I could hear ambulances wailing and people screaming. I will update this post when I get more information.

With 20 dead yesterday, including a 13 year old boy and his 16 year old sister, killed while collecting their laundry from the roof, Rafah looks set to be worse than Jenin 2002.
Reports coming in now suggest that as many as 20 have been killed after an Apache fired a missile into a peaceful demonstration.
The water and power have been disconnected, and the town has been sealed off.
Demonstrate outside the Israeli embassy 2-7pm or Palrliament Square 6 - 10pm.
