Here's the BBC audio link to the head of the UN aid agency (and no, I don't yet mean to his real head) in Gaza. I couldn't help thinking what a brave man that guy must be to be there in the first place.
The number of Israelis who have died since the beginning of this conflict is officially almost the same number as the number of doctors alone in Gaza who have been killed. If you think about the ratio of doctors to normal citizens in Gaza, that gives a lot of food for thought as to how many innocent people must have been slaughtered to bits since this began.
Sure, there have been a few formally announced "slip-ups" in one form or another over the last few weeks of slaughter and sludge. In this diary, I have put together a sort of satire of the way these always sound to me.

- Sorry, but did I miss something? If they knew we were going to bomb it, why did they build it in the first place?
- It is always a travesty when we lose members of the medical profession, however, we had learned from reliable sources that wounded terrorists had recently taken refuge there.
- We are very- and this is a word we rarely use: excruciatingly sorry.
- Sounds like it might be worth an investigation. We'll get back to you on it.
- They may have been mothers, but word has it that each of them sheltered terrorists inside their very bodies for nine months- sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less.
- Sorry, but keep in mind that we are actually the moderates. The thought of war gives a us a, um well... it's not like we're foaming at the mouth or anything.
