Watch part two

In this week's show we hear how Human Rights Watch accuses Israel of war crimes for its unlawful use of white phosphorous during the war on Gaza.

Mike Kirsch vists a town in the US where white phosphorous is manufactured and shows locals the true human cost of the weapon.

Meanwhile we hear how survivors of the war on Gaza are taking legal action and we meet a mother burnt by white phosphorous who tells us her story.

This episode of Focus on Gaza aired from March 27, 2009.
