Palestinian Doctors in Ecuador Give Back Solidarity and Love

Unlike the aid that Israel would not allow to be sent to Haiti from Gaza, a group of Palestinian doctor did make it to Ecuador.

The team started work right away. “We are 20 doctors and we divided ourselves into four different teams. We saw that many people had set up tents close to their houses and some of them were elderly who could not commute so we decided to go to them, to where they are.”

That's very nice, Mr. Tinmore, but I hope that when it is safe to do so, your old friends from Gaza travel to the Yamouth Refugee Camp to help out your fellow Arabs in need there. Plus, I certainly hope you contribute to their effort the same as we here in the U.S. contribute to UNICEF and other relief organization which help people of all backgrounds.

Let us honor the memory of that altruistic Syrian pedetrician, Mohammad Wassim Maaz, who died recently in that attack on the hospital in which he tirelessly worked for the children in need. I was reminded of him while watching this video.

When they say that 'Israel is a light unto the nations', this is what they mean...___

Why aren't they in Palestine given back solidarity and love, and not the usual apartheid and hate we see every day coming from the Palestinians.

Aftershocks still shaking Ecuador...

Magnitude 6.8 quake hits Ecuador, 2nd big shake of day
May 18,`16 -- Two powerful earthquakes jolted Ecuador on Wednesday, a magnitude 6.7 early morning temblor followed by a 6.8 shake around midday.

The extent of damage from the second quake was not immediately clear, though President Rafael Correa announced on Twitter some areas along the coast had lost power and said schools would be cancelled nationwide as a precaution. The first caused little serious damage. Both appeared to be aftershocks of a magnitude 7.8 quake a month earlier. The U.S. Geological Survey said the second quake hit at 11:46 a.m. (12:46 p.m. EDT; 16:46 GMT) and was centered along the coast below land about 14 miles (24 kilometers) northwest of the city of Rosa Zarate.

The earlier quake was centered less than 10 miles (about 10 kilometers) away and struck shortly before 3 a.m. local time. Both are less than 100 miles (155 kilometers) west-northwest of the capital, Quito. "These sort of aftershocks are normal but that doesn't mean they're not scary and can cause damage," Correa said in a televised address after the early morning shake. He added that aftershocks of this magnitude were normal for up to two months after a major quake like the one Ecuador experienced.

The president said that while some previously ravaged homes suffered more damage, most had already been evacuated and no buildings had collapsed. There were no reports of fatalities, he said. Security coordination minister Cesar Navas said one person was injured when a wall fell and five others were hurt in panicky efforts to flee buildings. The magnitude 7.8 earthquake on April 16 was Ecuador's worst natural disaster in decades, killing 661 and leaving more than 28,000 people homeless. It has been followed by hundreds of aftershocks, at least five of them of magnitude 6.0 or higher.

Ecuador was already struggling economically before the April disaster. Correa has hiked taxes to fund the recovery but says it will take years to rebuild the beach towns and tourist hubs leveled by the quake. Jorge Zambrano, mayor of Manta, one of the areas hit hardest by last month's big quake, said the streets were calm. "It was a big shake and all of us were scared but there are no major problems at the moment," said Zambrano.
