Jamila (40) was injured by a missile that hit her legs, during ‘Operation Cast Lead’ in 2008.

27 March 2011

Jamila (40) wurde 2008 während der „Operation Gegossenes Blei“ der israelischen Armee auf Ziele im Gazastreifen von einem Geschoss an den Beinen verletzt. Sie lebt in Beit Lahia, ist jetzt behindert und braucht eine Behandlung. Diese Operation der israelischen Armee war die Antwort auf palästinensische Raketenangriffe auf Israel. Die Infrastruktur des Gazastreifens wurde extensiv beschädigt. Durch die anhaltende Isolation der Region gehen der Wiederaufbau und die Reparatur nur langsam voran. Nach einem Bericht der Weltgesundheitsorganisation wurden 48 Prozent der Gesundheitseinrichtungen in Gaza während dieser Offensive beschädigt oder zerstört.

Beit Lahia, Gaza Strip

Jamila (40) was injured by a missile that hit her legs, during ‘Operation Cast Lead’, carried out by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on targets in the Gaza Strip in 2008. She lives in Beit Lahia, is now disabled, and in need of treatment. The IDF conducted the operation in response to Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel. Gaza suffered extensive infrastructural damage, and the region’s continuing isolation means rebuilding and repair remains slow. A World Health Organization report said that 48 percent of Gaza’s health facilities were damaged or destroyed during the offensive.

Jamila (40) resultó herida en las piernas a causa de un misil durante la «Operación Plomo Fundido» llevada a cabo por las Fuerzas de Defensa Israelíes (IDF) en la Franja de Gaza en 2008. Vive en Beit Lahia, es inválida y necesita tratamiento. Las IDF organizaron la operación contra objetivos civiles en respuesta a los ataques palesti- nos con cohetes sobre Israel. Gaza sufrió enormes daños en su infraestructura; el continuo aislamiento de la región supone que la reconstrucción y las reparaciones son lentas. Un informe de la Organización Mundial de la Salud afirma que el 48 % de las instalaciones en Gaza resultó dañado o destruido durante la ofensiva.

Jamila (40 ans) a été blessée à la jambe par un missile pendant la guerre de Gaza menée par l’Armée de Défense d’Israël (ADI) dans la Bande de Gaza en 2008. Elle vit à Beit Lahia, est handicapée et a besoin de soins constants. L’ADI a mené l’opération en réponse à des attaques de roquettes palestiniennes sur Israël. L’infrastructure de Gaza a subi d’énormes dégâts et l’isolement persistant de la région entrave sa reconstruction. Selon un rapport de l’Organisation mondiale de la santé, 48 % des installations sanitaires de Gaza ont été endommagées ou détruites pendant l’offensive.

Jamila (40 anni) è rimasta ferita alle gambe da un missile lanciato sulla Striscia di Gaza dalle Forze di Difesa Israeliane (IDF) durante l’operazione “Piombo Fuso” del 2008. La donna vive a Beit Lahia, è disabile e ha bisogno di cure. L’operazione israeliana, organizzata in risposta agli attacchi missilistici palestinesi, ha danneggiato gravemente le infrastrutture di Gaza. A causa del continuo isolamento della regione, la ricostruzione e la ristrutturazione procedono lentamente. Secondo un rapporto dell’Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità, il 48% delle strutture sanitarie di Gaza è stato danneggiato o distrutto durante l’offensiva.

Jamila (40) raakte gewond door een raketgranaat die haar benen trof tijdens ‘Operatie Gegoten Lood’, een reeks lucht- en raketaanvallen van het Israëlische leger op de Gazastrook in 2008. Ze woont in Beit Lahia, is gehandicapt en heeft dringend behandeling nodig. De operatie begon als een vergelding voor Palestijnse raketaanvallen op Israël. De infrastructuur in Gaza liep uitgebreide schade op. Het ononderbroken isolement van de regio zorgt ervoor dat herstel en heropbouw traag verlopen. Volgens een verslag van de Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie werd 48 procent van alle gezondheidsvoorzieningen in Gaza tijdens het offensief beschadigd of verwoest.

Жительница Бейт Лахийа Джамиля 40 лет стала инвалидом и нуждается в лечении после ранения в ноги в результате взрыва снаряда во время операции «Литой свинец», которую Армия обороны Израиля (АОИ) проводила в секторе Газа в 2008 году в ответ на ракетные обстрелы территории Израиля палестинцами. Инфраструктура Газы была серьезно повреждена, и продолжающаяся изоляция региона замедляет ее восстановление. По данным Всемирной организации здравоохранения, 48% учреждений здравоохранения в секторе Газа пострадали или были разрушены во время этой операции.
