1 of 2 parts KEY MESSAGES FROM THE TALK BY DR IMTIAAZ SOOLIMAN, AN INSIDE ACCOUNT ON GAZA - Value of 6 atomb bombs fell in the Gaza strip, but Gaza has survived; - The people of Gaza light up when they hear South Africa & send Salaam & peace to Muslims, Christians, Jews & others who marched and protested in their name. They say you will not be forgotten in heaven. - Give credit where it is due: The South African government has been exceptional in their support and response. - A volunteer as part of the team transferred his entire estate to his wife before he left. They are arranging a food parcel for him . - The Egyptian government has played games with the organisation since 20 August 2014. Using all kinds of tactics and excuses to stall entry of cargo (retracting permission of the plane to land as it crosses over into Egyptian air space forcing the plane to land in Sudan; losing documents; not sending clearing agents and on and on). - This is expected. They try to frustrate the organizations and as a result many teams have left demoralized. - Its a slaughter house in Gaza. - Where in the world have you heard of a war where refugees are not able to leave the border as they are sealed be fellow Arabs. - The people of South Africa came to the rescue with phonecalls and emails and complaints. In the rest of the world the government does not stand with its people, but in this country a non Muslim government stands with its people. - The South African government understand liberation & hardship. And the Palestinians stood with them. Quotes Nelson Mandela. - The people of Gaza knew the South Africans were coming: the communication on social media has kept their spirit alive.
