  1. No, it is all there, and so is Article 59: ART. 59. — If the whole or part of the population of an occupied territory is inadequately supplied, the Occupying Power shall agree to relief schemes on behalf of the said population, and shall facilitate them by all the means at its disposal. Such schemes, which may be undertaken either by States or by impartial humanitarian organizations such as the International Committee of the Red Cross, shall consist, in particular, of the provision of consignments of foodstuffs, medical supplies and clothing. All Contracting Parties shall permit the free passage of these consignments and shall guarantee their protection. A Power granting free passage to consignments on their way to territory occupied by an adverse Party to the conflict shall, however, have the right to search the consignments, to regulate their passage according to prescribed times and routes, and to be reasonably satisfied through the Protecting Power that these consignments are to be used for the relief of the needy population and are not to be used for the benefit of the Occupying Power.
  2. Now there's a shock, FYI here is Article 23: ART. 23. — Each High Contracting Party shall allow the free passage of all consignments of medical and hospital stores and objects necessary for religious worship intended only for civilians of another High Contracting Party, even if the latter is its adversary. It shall likewise permit the free passage of all consignments of essential foodstuffs, clothing and tonics intended for children under fifteen, expectant mothers and maternity cases. The obligation of a High Contracting Party to allow the free passage of the consignments indicated in the preceding paragraph is subject to the condition that this Party is satisfied that there are no serious reasons for fearing: a) that the consignments may be diverted from their destination, b) that the control may not be effective, or c) that a definite advantage may accrue to the military efforts or economy of the enemy through the substitution of the abovementioned consignments for goods which would otherwise be provided or produced by the enemy or through the release of such material, services or facilities as would otherwise be required for the production of such goods. The Power which allows the passage of the consignments indicated in the first paragraph of this Article may make such PROTECTION OF CIVILIAN PERSONS 177 VII. Air transport Consignments of medical supplies, food and clothing permission conditional on the distribution to the persons benefited thereby being made under the local supervision of the Protecting Powers. Such consignments shall be forwarded as rapidly as possible, and the Power which permits their free passage shall have the right to prescribe the technical arrangements under which such passage is allowed.
  3. How about some compliance with some of the other 158 Articles of the Geneva Convention?
  4. I had to laugh, "A tranquil monk ordination ceremony" been to a few of these, once standing in for the Father of the new Monk, a really good Thai friend who couldn't do the walk from their house to the Temple and 3 times round the mini temple where the service ends, biggest booze up I've ever attended, what with all the live band and dancing.
  5. IDF reservists from all branches of the military are campaigning for an end to the war in Gaza. The Israeli military has threatened to dismiss those who have signed open letters in protest of the conflict.
