Caught in Ramallah's rage


Heavy gun battles have been raging between Israeli forces and Palestinian gunmen in the West Bank town of Ramallah.
Stranded guests at the Royal Court Hotel have been watching the fighting from the ground floor window.

They have now been trapped for four days by the curfew, and have started rationing their food.

Wada Abdul Salem is worried. "For the first day, we collected all the food in one room and we started having three meals a day," she said.

"Then yesterday we cut it to two and I think maybe today and from now on, I have got to start to have one meal only."
