What, are you joking?!! The UN just started. You just don't seem to get the picture do you. Jenin has been leveled, get it? There's debris all around, can you say earthquake. There hasn't been any time to do anything. The UN and Red Cross are having a difficult time even attending to the injured let alone begin organizing a body count.

And talk about speculation against verfiable facts, how do you know 95% of the civilians fled the camp and their whereabouts are known. To who? You never provide links for any of your statements of so-called facts.

Wenesday:

BBC "According to the IDF, the whole of Jenin was again a closed military zone and no one apart from soldiers and settlers who lived beyond the checkpoint was getting through."
