GENEVA – The international Red Cross accused Israel on Thursday of "unacceptable" delays in letting rescue workers reach three Gaza City homes hit by shelling where they eventually found 15 dead and 18 wounded, including young children too weak to stand.

The Geneva-based International Committee of the Red Cross, or ICRC, said the Israeli army refused rescuers permission to reach the site in the Zeitoun neighborhood for four days. Ambulances could not get to the neighborhood because the Israeli army had erected large earthen barriers that blocked access.

The Red Cross blameing Israel for unnaceptable delays in letting victims recieve aid, Israel is highly concerned about geting their point accross to the Palestinians but of course not the wounded recieving their help, and as such many of the dead might still be alive if not for the procrastination of Israel. How much more will the world community tollerate?

Maybe we should let the red cross through a live range and see how far they get... I'd pray for a red cross rep to get struck in the head with a Palestinian rocket. I wonder how fast that would not get on the BBC. Cheers.

Red Cross has been present in many conflicts, so your masicist like wish was probably already granted, as far as the organization goes They just want to provide aid and help to people thats all.

Yea, like all that disaster relief money for the families of 9-11. The Red Cross is a joke. They have a corporate agenda hiding behind the guise of humanitarianism. They jump on whatever bandwagon is popular at the time and max profits.

No need to lash out on me because I see the realistic nature of war. These people are fighting, how about we let them finish before we clean it up? Let it run like rounds it is nothing more than a boxing match, someone has gotta get KO'd.. Let it happen..

I wasn't lashing out at you . I was lashing out at the Red Cross.

I agree with letting them fight. Its the only way to finish it
