Stop Israel's war against Palestinian workers
The buffer zone is a strip of land from three to five hundred feet wide that runs along the Israeli border in the territory of Gaza, declared a "no-go zone" by the Israeli army. According to the UN buffer zone in fact involves the ground up to 1000-1500 meters from the border, and the total area covers 35% of the arable land of the entire Gaza Strip.
This land is not only important for farmers, but is also vital for the so-called "collector of debris." Most of them recover and recycle building materials for the construction of the rubble near the border with Israel, very important activity in the Gaza Strip since Israel from 4 years to prevent the entry of cement and iron.
And 'the only way that these people have to earn bread for themselves and their families, since there is no work in Gaza and unemployment exceeds 45% of the population.
Israeli soldiers shoot these workers nearly every day, often with dum-dum bullets banned by international law, which explode on impact and a network often permanent disabilities.
A total of 22 stones and rubbish bins were injured from gunshot wounds to the legs in the last three weeks, and a total of 97 cases from March 2010. We are facing an increase in crimes against civilians in the buffer zone in Gaza, a clear violation of human straight. Many of these wounded are unable to walk for long periods and are the only ones to take responsibility for the maintenance of very large families.
Children are also affected: four in the last 3 weeks. Mokles , 15, was shot Nov. 28. Earn 50 shekels (10 euro) a day picking up debris and, along with his older brother, are the only ones to gain anything from a family of 17 people. Ismael Sa ' aed Qapeen , 31, has lost three toes for the third time when Israeli soldiers shot him near the border on November 30. Even his four brothers were injured during Israeli incursions, most recently on Dec. 9.
