Situation Worsens For Irish Woman In Ramallah

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Saturday March 30, 2002 23:55author by Amanda

The safety of Irish woman in the presidential compound in Ramallah has worsened as Israel is threatening to storm the compound.

As you are seeing in the news the Israeli military is promising to storm the Presidential compound. Irish national Caoimhe Butterly is still inside the compound!
We are incredibly concerned for her safety and we are asking you to call your respective governments to request the Israeli military cease the destruction and carnage in Ramallah.
Adam Shapiro has now left the compound in exchange for one doctor and one medic. Caoimhe Butterly has remained due to her concern that medics are not being allowed free access and that her continued presence may help facilitate further assistance.

I have just spoken to Adam Shapiro in Ramallah, the US citzen who was in the compound in with Caoimhe. He said the Israeli soldiers will allow Caoimhe to leave the building if she comes to the door and screams her name. At the moment she is helping the injured people and does not want to leave although she says she may leave at a later point.
