U.S. charity's offer with Gaza hospital project irks PalestiniansGAZA/JERUSALEM, Dec 3 (Reuters) – A U.S. charity building a tent hospital in the Gaza Strip is causing Palestinian unease by offering foreign medical volunteers the opportunity of weekend tourism in Israel, just across the volatile border.
