Red Cross called on Israel to allow it immediate access to Gaza
Submitted by Rich Gardner on Thu, 01/08/2009 - 9:33amhttp://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/meast/01/07/gaza.red.cross/
Red Cross workers and four ambulances from the Palestine Red Crescent Society managed to enter the Zaytun neighborhood of Gaza City on Wednesday, according to a written release. The crew found four children, too weak to stand, next to their dead mothers in a house containing 12 corpses, the statement says.
Other houses revealed more wounded and three more corpses, the release said. It said Israeli soldiers posted near the houses ordered the rescue team to leave the area -- an order the team refused.
