There is example of one beautiful young German girl who saw a leoparsy patient in Karachi on road in a bad shape. She took life long decision to eliminate leoparsy from Pakistan and has spent long 40 years of her life quietly without caring for fame or reward. She is successful in her very difficult mission.

"I hope that this never scares a single journalist away from coming to Gaza to cover the story because the Palestinian people are very beautiful and kindhearted," said Steve Centanni, a 60-year-old American reporter who was released along with cameraman Olaf Wiig, 36, of New Zealand.
