Borders and hunger by Barbora Misakova

Borders, nations, states, religions & we are all divided according to these classes. Instead of being free people and trying to understand every culture and every living creature we are constantly fighting against each other. "Hey! You mustn't come in this way! It is my land!" Sometimes it makes me crazy when I realize it is truth and this is really going on. We are still reading new articles about Gaza and all those conflicts connected to it, but honestly I am a bit confused. These days its all about blockades between Egypt and Palestine & while Egyptian forces used cement and sandbags to seal gaps Hamas militants blasted it tonight and so enabled thousands of Gazans go through Egypt's territory. Imagine you are living in a small territory controlled by someone else, you have nothing to eat and your relatives are dying because of absence of medicaments. I don't want to apologize them, but when are people desperate, they have no food and other needed goods what can we expect? There is no surprise Palestinian civilians are doing anything to get so much needed food and some sources say there are more than 50,000 Palestinians who crossed the borders and entered into Egypt's area, and still another 20,000 people are waiting in Rafah. Although this massive kind of riots lead to big exodus Egyptian police reinforcements didn't take any negative and violent steps. On the other hand they had to arrest 15 Hamas militants who tried to cross Egyptian territory with weapons and explosives despite warnings. Although Tel Aviv finally allowed fuel delivery to one power station in Gaza Strip and also supplies of gas, food and medicaments, the absence of the most needed raw materials will stay for longer time.
