June 4, 2008
GAZA, (PIC)-- The popular committee against the siege reported that the daily average per capita income in the Gaza Strip is estimated at two US dollars, pointing out that as a result of the Israeli siege the unemployment rate reached 70 percent while the poverty rate rose to 80 percent.
The committee underlined that more than one million Palestinians in Gaza live on the modest assistance provided by the UNRWA and FAO in addition to other Arab and Islamic charitable organizations.
The committee said that 60 percent of Gaza children suffer from diseases caused by malnutrition and 70 percent of the population obtains water for eight hours every two days a week, adding that the power cuts lasts for eight hours a day and sometimes more than that.
The committee also pointed out that the 140,000 Palestinian workers in Gaza joined the unemployment line and 3,900 factories, workshops and stores were shut down which resulted in economic losses estimated at hundreds of millions of dollars since the beginning of the Israeli siege.

| Comment by fr. joseph - 13 Jun 2008 - 17:23 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | "You are not to exploit the hired servant who is poor and destitute, whether he is of your brothers or a stranger wh lives in your towns. You must pay him his w age each day, not allowing the sun to set before you do, for he is poor and is a nxious for it; OTHERWISE he may APPEAL TO YHWH AGAINST YOU, and it would be A SI N for you."
quoting from THE TORAH - Book of Deuteronomy - Deut. 24:14-15
"You must not oppress the stranger; you know how a stranger feels, for you lived in the land of Egpyt."
quoting from THE TORAH - Book of Exodus - Exodus 23:9
"You must not steal nor deal deceitfully or fraudulently with your neighbor. You must not swear falsey by My Name, PROFANING the Name of your God. I Am YHWH. Yo u must not exploit or rob your neighbor. You must not keep back the labourer's w age until next morning. ...
"Keep ALL My Laws and Customs, PUT THEM INTO PRACTICE. I Am YHWH."
quoting from THE TORAH - Book of Leviticus - Leviticus 19:11-13,37
So much for the 'State of Iseal' abiding by THE TORAH and the Divine Relevation given to MOSES.
- Fr. Joseph
