2) UPDATE: Jenin (Palestine IMC)

April 18, 2002: A small group of internationals have managed to bring desperately needed food and water into Jenin camp, including fresh milk and vegetables. The people in the camp have had no fresh food for weeks and although this small amount has now reached them, it is no where near enough. More aid is needed, and quickly, particulary foodstuffs and nappies for babies and infants. In addition, there is no water supply so water is also urgently required.

IMC Palestine volunteer in Jenin camp: "It is horrible. You wouldn't believe the destruction. I don't know what to say." The situation in the camp has not improved much. Our reporter witnessed a man running past her, what was left of his hand was bleeding very badly. Medics on the scene attended to his injury but, as curfew has been re-imposed, it is not clear if he will be evacuated to the hospital. A child was also injured, fortunately not so seriously. It is not yet clear how they received these injuries.

April 17, 2002: International volunteers in Jenin have reported that men are burying the dead. Women and children are wandering the streets in a dazed condition. It is still very dangerous as Israeli snipers are operating in the area. Whilst walking through the camp they have found parts of bodies, flesh and bone in the streets. They ar econtinuing to help with relief efforts and recording the evidence which they find.in addition of that,Israeli army prevents human rights lawyers access to Jenin hospital.
