Palestinians' Plight in Battered Refugee Camp Brings Warning
International aid workers and a leading Israeli civil rights group issued warnings tonight of a looming crisis for people in the isolated Jenin refugee camp, a densely populated one-square-mile warren of 10,000 inhabitants that has been the site of this week's fiercest fighting between Israelis and Palestinians.
Two hundred women and children suffering from dehydration emerged from the camp today, aid workers said. Food, water, electricity and ambulances have been blocked from the area for five days, Palestinian officials said.
An Israeli human rights group said that Israeli forces have demolished Palestinian homes, including several with people still inside them, though that could not be verified.
