Gazans need the help and support of the international community if a genocide is to be avoided, writes ANNE CZERNIK

TONY LAURANCE is Chief Executive of British charity Medical Aid for Palestine (Map). He has worked in Gaza for nearly seven years, first with the World Health Organisation and now with Map.

He tells the Star: You cannot maintain a proper and effective hospital and healthcare system in conditions of siege and isolation. Even though essential medical supplies can be imported, there are other difficulties.

After eight years of siege and military offensives, all the hospitals in Gaza are in a desperate condition.

Laurance says: There has been very little maintenance and the equipment frequently malfunctions. There are power cuts every day lasting up to 18 hours. The generators that they rely upon have not been maintained. They are running short of fuel. Staff dont receive proper training because they are isolated from the rest of the world. They are running short of disposables. The situations not helped by cuts to water supplies. Hospitals have not expanded to cope with a growing population.

He could have gone on, but Id got the picture.

There are some things you can never forget. As a journalist, there are some people you remember for ever.

Just over a week ago, when I spoke to Fikr Shallitt, the medical aid co-ordinator for Map in Gaza City, there was little hope of a lasting ceasefire.

But situations change quickly in Gaza and we have seen the beginning and the end of a settlement.

Some 426 children, 255 women and 1,100 men have died over the past few weeks.

COLUMBIA Missouri freshman wide receiver Lawrence Lee streaked toward the end zone. Overhead, the football floated under the lights.

Lee made a quick adjustment with his body and reached out his hands. The ball grazed his fingertips and bounced on the turf, tumbling toward the end zone.

Lee pursued the pigskin, scooping it up and veering off his route at the last second saving himself and the ball from careening into the offensive linemen who were practicing blocking drills in the Devine Practice Facility end zone.

On Thursday, rain forced the Tigers' practice indoors. In the tighter confines, players had to maintain spatial awareness. As Missouri assistant coaches explained, safety is a concern in such close quarters. Quarterbacks can't throw the ball deep as often. And receivers must adjust to the lighting and the fact that offensive linemen are tussling in the end zone.

The indoor facility houses a 90-yard field with a single true end zone including a goalpost at one end.

It's apparent the loss of space can create some hazards.

Aside from Lee's close call with the offensive linemen, there were two other near collisions during the first 45 minutes of practice. On one occasion, redshirt freshman Eddie Serrano fell over fellow defensive lineman A.J. Logan during a defensive pass-catching drill. Logan, a Rock Bridge graduate and also a redshirt freshman, was retrieving a football when Serra back-pedaled into him.

April Blizzard has been letting her lights shine for 25 years, and her daughter Kelly has carried on the torch for the past couple of years.

Blizzard and her husband Thomas, a Deep Run native, own The Lighting Gallery a subsidiary of her husbands 55-year business, Blizzards Building Supply.

Kelly Blizzard has worked for her mother at the lighting store since the early 1990s, and has been managing it since her mother took semi-retirement.

April Blizzard said she still works there every other Saturday morning and when shes needed.

She grew up in Idaho and met Thomas in Utah when he was in the U.S. Air Force.

When she graduated with a nursing degree from St. Benedicts Hospital School of Nursing in 1961, she and her husband moved to Kinston where she continued her studies at ECU and taught nursing at Lenoir Memorial Hospitals then-School of Nursing.

Im in my second career now, Blizzard said about the lighting business. In the late 1970s, she worked part-time at her nephews lighting store, The Lamplighter Shop, until a disaster occurred.

There was a fire in 1987 that leveled the whole shopping center, she said, and we were out of business for the whole year.

Blizzards nephew didnt want to start up the business again, so Thomas and his brother rebuilt their building at Village Square Shopping Center and his wife opened The Lighting Gallery in August 1989. Were actually in the same location, she said, but were in the opposite end of The Lamplighter Shop.

Kelly earned a degree in interior design and took a seasonal job in Moorehead City. When she came back to Kinston, she began working in the flooring business next to The Lighting Gallery until a vacancy opened up in her mothers shop.
