Sharon Locke, British midwife, will be introducing this film about the work of the Gaza medics during the Israel bombardment in 2008/9. She accompanied the ambulances attempted to rescue the injured. Israel considered the Emergemcy services a "legitimate" target and they worked daily under fire, even after permission had been given to collect casualties. 15 medics were killed and over 50 seriously injured.

Sharon is touring the UK with the film to promote support for the Palestinian Emergency Services

This is what happens if Hamas abuse ambulances for ferrying uninjured terrorists to and from the battlefield. And since they had their HQ in a bunker beneath the main hospital in Gaza, this is hardly surprising...

Hang on a minute - don't the Palestinians consider every living thing in Israel a legitimate target? Which is why they lobbed a bunch of Wily Pete over the wall along with their usual gifts of peace love and understanding the last time their activities were in the news... funny that we didn't hear anyone call Hamas "war criminals" when THEY did it, did we? I wonder why that could be?

People will be interested to see the film
which includes video footage filmed from an ambulance showing the crew being deliberately shot at by Israeli Soldiers
one of many such incidents which lead to such a substantial death and injury toll among emergency crews, which under international law are supposed to be protected by the occupying forces
People will also be interested to hear the speaker and
I'm sure she would welcome the question about the Hamas HQ under the hospital!
The shocking truth is that Israel committed terrible devastation and war crimes in Gaza and this is a chance to hear an eye-witness account of what happened there.
