3 hour break

The three hour aid assiants is the first step towards peace in the gaza strip after 12 hours of fighting. For 3 hours Israel has promised to all aid into gaza, while many others hope for at least a full day will be pushed for. But both sides do not agree on a cease-fire that the United States, the U.K and France have proposed-was just not enough. The Arab side is pushing for a truce, which seems to make no sense to me. Just take what you can for the people who are dying. Both sides with contuine fighting in a few but for now there is quiet on the strip. Lines are long waiting to get some bread, there is no electricty-only candles, and no clean water. Today was the first time any palestinian was able to get out of their homes to get some amount of food, today was the first time there was no fear, today there was peace. Today was the first day aid was able to get in to the Gaza and help those in need, lets hope that they help those in need as much as they possible can.
