The internationally accredited Palestinian Centre for Human Rights in Gaza does truly vital work in the most difficult of circumstances. In the face of such impunity impartial documentation of Human Rights violations is a small victory. Their press release from midday today:

There aren't many Palestinians living and blogging in Gaza as one can imagine. The few who are, you can find through your normal avenues of search. I can't think of a much more powerful use of the medium than to read their posts today, and comment in solidarity.
