Mary Robinson wrings her hands over Palestinians |
2002-04-09 |
U.N. officials on Monday described a situation of "pure horror" in northern West Bank camps, with strafing from Israeli helicopters, corpses piling up and ambulances and food trucks being barred by the army. "There is a humanitarian disaster in the making," says Richard Cook, West Bank field director for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency. Mary spends so much time wringing her hands she's gonna get callouses. Those humanitarian disasters are hell, but so's war and so's exploding snuffies. And let us not forget the Brutal Palestinian Winter, which is only nine months away... Maybe Mary could check on the camps in the neighboring Arab countries to see how the human rights situation is there. |
