hello again,

just an update of stuff from during the night.

9 men were killed in the nativity church during the night, a report confirmed by those inside the building. they were shot through the doors which have been blown off the back of the church. worry increases for the rest of those inside - so much for a halt to the attack.

apache helicopters (yes, american ones) have killed many while firing on balata refugee camp.

the governor of nablus (i met him in december) has had his home taken over by troops who have destroyed the inside.

red crescent ambulances have been allowed to deliver some food and water but no medical aid to arafat's compound. the president is on the verge of running out of vital personal medication.

a number of internationals, including a french man suffering heart attack symptoms, left the presidential compound last night with alleged safe passage from the idf. neither they nor their red cross drivers had been heard from since, as of the early hours of this morning, around 10 hours after they left on the journey to qalandia checkpoint which, even under present conditions, should only take about an hour.

in atara, a village near bir zeit university, an old man trying to reach hospital was stopped in the street by israeli forces and died in the street.

the fact that this place is so damn beautiful just makes this all the harder; looking out of the window in the early morning light (now it's stopped chucking it down) over the white stone houses of bethlehem and the olive groves, the sounds of tanks are all the more grating...

to my friends and especially family; please be careful, especially mum; [a colleague]'s parents in new york have been driven from their home by death threats from right wing zionists. and the brits on the plane home last night were 'abused' by israelis with them and had to be escorted from the airport by police. i don't want my insane actions to rebound on you guys! i love you too much.

holding on,

sarah
