Grandmother hurt in Israeli violence
A Welsh woman has been shot at and injured by Israeli troops in the West Bank while trying to help people to hospital.

Anne Gwynne, 65, from Aberystwyth, was hit in the leg by shrapnel while carrying a stretcher through the old quarter of the besieged town of Nablus.

She said two soldiers opened fire on her and a colleague after they failed to hear an order for them to halt as they were trying to reach a heavily pregnant Palestinian woman.

WE HAVE THREE MORE MARTYRS IN NABLUS THIS MORNING
by Anne Gwynne

The Lockdown Intensifies

The situation here in Nablus today is the worst it has been since I came here six weeks ago. This city of 186,000 people is completely closed to the outside world - sealed off. We are very few internationals - too few to send anyone to the checkpoints this morning; every point of entry is closed and patients are not being allowed to go to the hospitals. The IOF is now beating Internationals at the checkpoints - today a Swedish woman and a Danish man. I have called the West Bank IOF offices many, many times and have spoken to several underlings who say that there is complete closure on Nablus, except for ambulances which should be allowed through. But they are not being. I called the Press Office, the West Bank Command and the Nablus Command and they all deny that this is happening - we know first-hand that it is.
