Different types that people in gaza uh require, but like i told you there were only 17 so far today and 20 yesterday, so maybe by the end the day it will be again, maybe its a plan for 20 trucks only to go through as it was yesterday, this is while the you one is saying, every single day 100 truck loads of aid is needed, and as for the statistics on fatalities, more than 4600 people in got.

Serving political prisoner. Abdullah has become a global icon and inspiration with supporters who say that they will never stop demanding his freedom. Rami mazahari has a report in that story from paris. George ibrahim abdullah, known as the arab worlds nelson mandela, and europes longest serving political prisoner, has now been in a french jail for 40 years. In 1982, amid daily air strikes and with israel about to invade lebanon. Abdullah headed and antizionist and prosocialist organization which took responsibility for assassinating an israeli and an american intelligence agent in paris. Many are concerned that abdullah has effectively been given life sentence in jail, even though his release was granted by a parole board in 2013. La peine de mort, elle a ete abolie en france, france is so very proud of having abolished the death penalty, but instead of executing with the guillotine, they are forcing slow death by prison on. Global hero, for 40 years he has refused to recount his support for palestine and his act of legitimate selfdefense in the face of israeli violence. Paris refuses to send him back to lebanon despite repeated requests from lebanese officials with washington and tel aviv also pressuring to extend his detention. Il est exemplaire par la duree. He is such an example to the world because of his resistance design his attempts at occupation and because of what he has been forced to suffer so unjustly and because he continues to fight against the crimes of. Imperialism, his regular political statements are received with great attention not just in occupied palestine and his home country of lebanon, but around the world. Protests demanding abdollahs release are regular in france and lebanon, while flags adorned with abdullahs face are seen at seemingly every leftist or Union Demonstration in france. The western Mainstream Media effectively has a blackout on abdullah, but that hasnt stopped him from becoming inspirational symbol of antiimperialist resistance around the world with supporters who say theyll never stop demanding his freedom.
