POPSU.N. to consider Israeli War Crimes Report This clip is background to this U.N. decision, announce hours ago. There is also mentioned Hamas did a war crime, alleged to aim rockets in civilian areas. Over a thousand Palestinian civilians were killed in the last Gaza Strip invasion; 3 Israeli civilians killed. Note: the U.S. kills dozens of civilians every week. They just say: "We didn't mean it." The real issues are policies of genocide in the deliberate destruction of Palestinian water supplies and infrastructure, sewage plants, electrical supplis, destruction of industries and farmland, livestock, prohibition on fishing, travel, emprisoned in the Strip, blockade of needed goods including supplies for rebuilding, etc. -- policies designed to totally destroy and/or remove a population based on race.

POPSUp to 4,000 buried in Indonesian quake rubble "Aftershocks can be just as devastating as the initial quake," said Adjie Fachrurrazi, emergency response coordinator in Indonesia for the CARE aid organization, in a statement. "After an earthquake of this size, we know the immediate needs are going to be getting safe water, food and emergency supplies to the survivors. The question now is: How bad is it?

POPS Millions facing famine in Ethiopia as rains fail more (at source): Donor countries provided sustenance to 12 million Ethiopians last year, more than half of it through the UN's World Food Programme (WFP). Having passed that total only eight months into this year, and with the main harvest already in doubt, aid agencies fear the worst is still to come. "We're extremely worried," said Howard Taylor, who heads the Department for International Development's office in Ethiopia. DfID has given £54m in aid to the country this year, and Britain has also contributed through the EU. "This is exactly the time when we shouldn't turn away from the people in need," he said.

POPSStockpiling Grows As Economy Falters Blankets, flashlights and emergency cooking supplies are also in demand at the military surplus store. Kamaunu says the demand has coincided with the fall of the U.S. economy. “You just have to be ready for things to happen,” she said. “And if you're prepared, it's not quite as frightening as if you're caught short with nothing.” That kind of survivalist instinct also has more people growing their own food. According to the National Gardening Association, food gardening in the U.S. is expected to increase nineteen percent in 2009 compared to the previous year.
