Why no press in Gaza? Because Israel is acting with insanity, Holocaust-borne. AP reports that the International Red Cross/Palestinian Red Crescent only got to some houses days after they were attacked. In one case, four days later:
"The ICRC/PRCS
team found four small children next to their dead mothers in one of the
houses. They were too weak to stand up on their own. One man was also
found alive, too weak to stand up," the statement said. "In all, there
were at least 12 corpses lying on mattresses" in one of the houses, it
added.

The Palestinian poem entitled "Our Country is a Graveyard" says:
Gentlemen, you have transformed
our country into a graveyard
You have planted bullets in our heads,
and organized massacres
Gentlemen, nothing passes like that
without account
All that you have done
to our people is
registered in notebooks
The Geneva-based International Committee of the Red Cross said the Israeli army refused rescuers permission to reach the site in the Zeitoun neighborhood for four days. Ambulances couldn't get to the neighborhood because the Israeli army had erected large earthen barriers that blocked access.
Israel said the delay was caused by fighting in the area and accused Hamas of using Palestinian civilians as human shields.
Eventually, Red Cross and Palestine Red Crescent rescuers received permission to go into the shelled houses on Wednesday, four days after the houses were hit by Israeli shells.
"This is a shocking incident," Pierre Wettach, head of the ICRC for the region, said.
The Red Cross said the children and the wounded had to be transported to ambulances in a donkey cart.
"The Israeli military must have been aware of the situation but did not assist the wounded," the ICRC said. "Neither did they make it possible for us or the Palestine Red Crescent to assist the wounded."
The Red Cross normally conducts confidential negotiations with warring parties and the statement was a rare public criticism of one party to a conflict over a specific incident.
The Red Cross said it believes "in this instance, the Israeli military failed to meet its obligation under international humanitarian law to care for and evacuate the wounded."
"It considers the delay in allowing rescue services access unacceptable," the ICRC statement said.
The Red Cross alleged Israel also refused requests to go to other destroyed houses in the same neighborhood of Gaza City, where they had reports of more wounded people.
"Photographic evidence has emerged that proves that Israel has been using controversial white phosphorus shells during its offensive in Gaza, despite official denials by the Israel Defence Forces.
There is also evidence that the rounds have injured Palestinian civilians, causing severe burns. The use of white phosphorus against civilians is prohibited under international law."

al-Jazeera Arabic reported a while ago that witnesses reported that zionist fascist scum lined up little boys and adults against a wall and executed them. this also explains the fact that that the corpses that were discovered were on mattresses, and there were babies that were alive. they probably killed them all and "spared" the babies, thinking that they would die of starvation anyway since they refused to allow the ambulances entry by firing on them.
Must be getting close to time for cluster bombs.
Cluster bombs have already been used.
