"Today the international peace activists did a large demonstration in Rafah, joined by many people from Rafah, against the killing of civilians. Again, the Gaza strip is divided into 3 parts, with waiting times at the checkpoints up to 9 hours; it is virtually impossible to go to university or any other place in Gaza. There was another attack at Rafah, even targeting the internet cafè, and more houses were destroyed."
