Kuala Lampur, April 10 -- Somewhere between hell and a hard place lies Gaza.

A sweltering, sand-choked strip of land barely hanging on by a thread, now severed cleanly by the blade of political sadism. Once described as the "world's largest open-air prison," it's no longer a prison. It's an execution chamber. And the warden just threw away the key.

Not a crumb.

Not a drop of mercy.
