Thousands Mark Death of Palestinian Girl in Gaza

HeadlineApr 12, 2006

In Gaza, thousands of Palestinians marched Tuesday at the funeral of a young Palestinian girl killed by an Israeli rocket shell. Four-year old Hadeel died when Israeli forces fired on her house in the Northern Gaza Strip Monday. 12 people, including five children, were injured in the attack. Meanwhile, the US, Canada, and the European Union have now all cut off financial aid to the Hamas-led Palestinian authority. The aid freeze will continue until Hamas renounces violence and recognizes Israel. On Tuesday, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas renewed his calls for direct negotiations with the Israeli government. Israel says it will speak to Abbas but will not engage in final status peace talks.
