Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

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.
