THE massacre being carried out by Israeli forces in Gaza has entered its fourth month with, on average, a child being killed every 10 minutes and almost the entire population of the occupied enclave becoming homeless. Nowhere and no one is safe in the face of relentless bombardment that has killed up to 25,000 Palestinians.
