台灣留學生一般不像在留學,身在國外,心在台灣,整個世界依然是台灣,同步進行,看不見其它,對功名利祿或好康的事物以外的東西,更是統統不感興趣。整天在網路上或私底下 ggyy講些民進黨過半大進步啦、連宋不愛台灣啦、哪個政客或名人說了什麼啦、男人女人如何啦、哪裡有什麼好康的啦,化粧品用哪一種比較好啦、身材如何保養啦、社會版上誰被歹徒性侵害啦、誰找到什麼工作、誰倒了什麼霉啦、最新流行什麼話題啦,人家我如何和西方帥哥辣妹打成一片、融入他們的生活啦等等這些,或是努力互相說八卦,盡量往壞的方面聯想或乾脆直接大膽假設。並且整天看他們所辱罵的那些中文報紙,然後努力污辱抹黑他們聽不順 耳的作者或記者,其它則幾乎什麼都不看。啊,有啦A看 BBC 、NEW YORK TIMES啦,這還算是好的, 炫嘛。

Current violence pushing Gaza into a humanitarian crisis, UN agencies warn
5 October 2004 – The ongoing violence in Gaza, on top of the sharply deteriorating humanitarian situation this year, is pushing the Palestinian population into a deep crisis, a dozen United Nations aid agencies working in the region warned today.
They called on the Israeli Government to guarantee humanitarian agencies unrestricted and secure access into Gaza for both personnel and relief supplies, ensure the free movement of humanitarian goods and personnel within the territory, and respect its obligations under international humanitarian law by ensuring the safety of the Palestinian civilian population.
"The UN organizations recognize Israel's legitimate security concerns, particularly the need to stop Palestinian rocket and mortar attacks into civilian areas; however, its actions should be in conformity with international humanitarian law and it should not use disproportionate force," they said in a statement released in Jerusalem.
Since 28 September, 82 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, including 24 children, while 5 Israelis - including 2 children - have lost their lives. For the year, approximately 45 Palestinians have been killed each month in Gaza and poverty rates are predicted to rise to 72 per cent.
At the same time, movement restrictions imposed by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) have prevented effective delivery of humanitarian aid. The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) - the main organization helping people in the region - has not been able to deliver emergency food aid to the north of Gaza.
The IDF has also denied UN personnel secure access into Gaza for the last two weeks - making a total of 65 days so far this year that the UN has not been able to enter.
In related news, Secretary-General Kofi Annan was asked in New York if Israel should apologize if what it had claimed to be a rocket being loaded on a UN vehicle was in fact a hospital stretcher.
"In my discussions with the [Israeli Ambassador to the UN], I did raise that if it is found out that the facts are not correct, that they would issue a disclaimer on their side," he replied.
