Five presidents of Israel's leading academic institutions are calling on the Prime Minister to act immediately to solve the hunger problem in the Gaza Strip. In an open letter to Netanyahu, they state that along with a growing number of the country's residents, they are watching in shock at the footage coming from the Strip, including images of babies dying every day from hunger and disease.  The letter to the Prime Minister was signed by the presidents of the Weizmann Institute, the Technion, and the presidents of Tel Aviv University, the Hebrew University, and the Open University. Reporter Arieh O’Sullivan spoke with Prof. Leo Corry, the president of the Open University, about the letter and its effect.
