#1 People are assessing the damage sustained by their homes, neighbourhoods and fields.

What are they whining about? At least Israel gave them the opportunity to get out. That's better than what Hamass does for the Israelis whenever they fire off another salvo of missiles.

"The population there is generally poorer. Some people have been left with absolutely nothing."

Q: How do you tell a rich "Palestinian" from a poor one?

A: The rubble they own is big enough to build a house out of.

Over the coming weeks, the ICRC will provide approximately 80,000 people whose homes were damaged or completely destroyed.

I thought Israel already provided them. There goes the ICRC taking all the credit again.

#5 I dunno- I thought it was pretty cool, but overwhelming is a stretch.
