Shati Tea and Coffee Shop

Most of the customers of this tea and Falafel shop stayed in their houses today, as the bombing and shelling continues from the air on the second day of the ground invasion. Some cameras from AP filmed us going out in our horse and donkey carts at the end of the day to get water. There is very little water. With the Israeli troops cutting off Gaza city from the south, the aid cannot get to us from the Rafah Egyptian crossing. The old busses to Rafah, of course cannot go through the new Israeli army check points and the aid from Rafah cannot get through. Al-Shifa Hospital just south of this tea shop on the coast reports the death toll since the bombing began 9 days ago is 507.
