CKUT Radio: Life and Death in Rafah Refugee Camp

Listen to an interview with Mohamed Omar, an independent Palestinian
journalist from Rafah refugee camp in the Gaza Strip. Mohamed is the
creator of the independent news website Rafah Today, which documents life
and death in the Gaza Strip. Mohamed, who's home was recently demolished
by the Israeli military, speaks about the importance of an independent
media movement in Palestine to document and uncover the often hidden
realities of the Israeli occupation.

The interview outlines the current situation in Rafah, focusing on the
constant Israeli Occupation Forces incursions into Rafah refugee camp,
while also exploring the aftermath of the massive Israeli military
incursion dubbed "Operation Rainbow" in late May 2004. The Israeli
incursion made international headlines, bringing condemnation from the
United Nations and the majority of nations throughout the world. The late
May incursion saw many Palestinians killed and hundreds of homes were
destroyed, leaving thousands homeless until today.
