The big shots of the international corporate media are gone.
No more Anderson Cooper proclaiming, "That one was really close," as
a bomb blast reverberates in the background and another Palestinian family is
buried in the rubble. The 24 hour news cycle has moved on.
1200 injured Gazans face a shortage of drugs and medical
equipment. Doctors and nurses are working double shifts everyday to help the
wounded. Hundreds are children. Some, with crippling injuries, amputations, and
head trauma will suffer for the rest of their days. Some, horrifically injured
in bombing raids or drone attacks, have passed away today. Some will die
tomorrow, some the day after.
Families are left clinging to memories, while the whole
world forgets.
