HeadlineJun 01, 2004

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz is reporting Israeli forces killed a total of 111 Palestinians during May — the highest monthly death toll in two years. Meanwhile the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees has launched an appeal to raise over $16 million to help repair damage to the Rafah refugee camp where Israeli forces have recently demolished over 350 homes including 24 over the weekend. The Palestinian Center for Human Rights estimates 5,000 people in Rafah have been left homeless over the past two weeks.
