No day is women’s day in Gaza
Electronic Intifada - 7 Mar 2008
rr r r rr r rr r rr r rr r rr rrr rGAZA CITY, 7 March (IPS) – Mahasen Darduna suffers in ways the world recognizes; her suffering comes at the hands of the Israelis. But there are many Palestinian women whose suffering the world does not see, because their hell is inflicted on them by fellow Palestinians. One way or another, no day is woman’s day in Gaza. For a week, Mahasen Darduna, 30, has sat day and night by her son’s bedside in the hospital. The boy, Yahiya, 9, was among a group of children hit by an Israeli missile while playing football on a field at the Jabaliya refugee camp.
