Red Cross to end emergency aid programs to 50,000 Palestinian families: "The international Red Cross is ending two emergency aid programs that provided food assistance to 50,000 Palestinian families, a spokesman for the aid group said Tuesday.
The decision to stop the aid at the end of the month reflected growing impatience by international aid groups, charging that Israel is in control of much of the West Bank but is not providing assistance to the Palestinian population. The Israeli military adminstration had no immediate comment."
It's tough to have 'temporary' relief efforts, but it's even tougher when they get extended for 18 months and it still isn't long enough.
