What good can come from these acts?....
Loved Ones…What good can come from these acts?....acts resulting with children bearing the brunt of Israel's war on the Gaza Strip.

More than 300 children have been killed and hundreds more wounded in Israel's aerial and ground assault, Ann Veneman, Unicef's executive director, said in a statement released on Wednesday.

She said: "Each day more children are being hurt, their small bodies wounded, their young lives shattered. This is tragic. This is unacceptable.

"They are bearing the brunt of a conflict which is not theirs.

"The crisis in Gaza is singular in that children and their families have nowhere to escape, no refuge.

The very thought of being trapped in a closed area is disturbing for adults in peace times," she said.

"What then goes through the mind of a child who is trapped in such relentless violence?"

Israel has said that it is trying to minimize civilian casualties as it targets Hamas fighters and their infrastructure, but Palestinian children are being subjected to harrowing experiences.

"I saw the soldier standing next to the shop. I looked for my mum and then he shot me. One bullet hit my hand and the other went through my back and out through my stomach," Samar, a young girl, cried while recovering from her wounds at a Gaza hospital.

Amal, another young girl, wailed: "We have nothing to do with this, we don't fire rockets, we don't know what this war is about."

More than 40,000 pregnant women and their unborn children were also believed to be at risk because Gaza's overwhelmed hospitals were unable to take them in.

Dr Walid Sarhan, a Jordanian psychiatrist, said that if nothing is done to help traumatized children Gaza would begin to see advanced cases of psychiatric problems. "The main one would be post-traumatic stress disorder, which is expected to rise 60 or 70 per cent among children," he said.

"Also they will have behavioral and emotional problems. They will have difficulties returning to school, going on to achieve in school, and this will not be in small numbers."

Mark Regev, an Israeli government spokesman, said that thousands of children in southern Israel were also suffering because of Palestinian rocket fire.

"Two weeks before this crisis started I went down south with my prime minister, Mr Olmert ... and he was given letters from fourth graders I believe, children who are nine and 10-years-old, who their entire lives have been on the incoming end of these Hamas rockets," he stated.

"You have a whole generation of Israeli children who unfortunately suffering similar trauma."

What good can come from these acts?...What good?

At this time I petition for all unborn souls, infants and toddlers of both sides to be protected with the White Light of the Holy Spirit….I petition and ask that in the Name of Mother and Father God.

You and all your loved ones are always in my prayers,
