I left New Zealand mid-2003, bound for Istanbul and a new lif. After two years, a Belgian guy lured me into his world, deep in the heart of Europe. For a long time I was an in-process immigrant. One day we married. These days it's about photography, a little red wine and wandering ... and so the journey goes.

And the thing is, the Red Cross NEVER speaks out unless something is really, really wrong. They try their best to remain neutral. Obviously this is a very one-sided assault, with Palestinian civilians bearing the bulk of the suffering.
I can't help remembering that this and worse happened in 2006 and nothing changed. The Red Cross must be in despair. I don't imagine that they're a profit-making organisation but they must get tired on spending so much cleaning up after army no one is allowed to criticise.
