AP: Gaza College Students Trapped in Gaza
Mona Bkheet’s academic year is under way at Southern Illinois University, but the civil engineering student is far from the classroom, stranded in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip by an Israeli blockade.
Human rights groups say 670 Palestinian students have become trapped in Gaza since the Islamic militants took over the territory this summer and Israel halted travel in and out. More than 30 of the students are enrolled at U.S. universities.
