The Israel military has launched a ground operation into Gaza on Thursday and called an extra 18'000 reservisit into the conflict with Hamas.
Thirteen Hamas militants used a tunnel earlier on Thursday to launch an attempted attack in Sufa near an Israeli Kibbutz, but were stopped by Israeli soldiers.
According to Mark Regev, Netanyahu's spokesman he said the main aim of Israel is to diminish the Hamas military force and to show Hamas that Gaza cannot attack Israel with impunity "we have hit Hamas hard and we will continue to hit Hamas hard".
Hamas however responded by saying Israeli ground invasion of Gaza was a dangerous step with unknown consequences and that Israel will pay a great price for it.

EMBRYO TRAFFICKING
It has come to the notice of the Nigeria government that many hospitals in Nigeria especially the so called private fertility clinics and hospitals are now engaged in embryo collection and trafficking.
Many Nigerian women now sell their eggs to hospitals to make ends meet. The eggs are then collected from these women and sold out to those who's eggs have dried up or who cannot produce enough eggs needed for the fertilisation of a baby. While the rest of the eggs are exported out of Nigeria to other hospitals abroad.
These women sells their eggs to these hospitals for the price of fifty thousand to hundred thousand naira. The implication of this practises however, is that these women suffers fom organ failure such as kidney failure, liver failure and of course infertility after three to four years of donating and selling off their eggs. The hospital usually do not tell the women the side effects of this practises. All they are after is making money.

HOW COULD I BE SO LONELY
How could I be so lost,
In a place I know so well?
How could I be so broken,
In a family so together?
How could I be so lonely,
Surrounded by so many?
How could I be so unhappy,
Surrounded by so much beauty?
How could I be me,
When even I remain a mystery?

Human Trafficking
Today is the international human trafficking day. Let us all join forces and put a complete stop to trafficking in persons.
Human trafficking has become the largest illegal trade after drug trafficking. About 600,000 to 800,000 people are trafficked across the United States borders every year. Most of them are women and under age girls who were lured out of their home with false promises of a better life abroad only to be sold into slavery and use as sex workers.
More awareness needs to be created to protect people especially women and young girls from falling victims of this evil practices of human trafficking.

LIFE'S OWN BATTLE
Didn't want a battle,
Yet you declared war,
Each knock you gave me made me stronger than before,
I will not give up,
I will not give in,
You won't make me fall,
I won't let you win.
