Yusuf Islam, formerly known as Cat Stevens, releases charity song for children of Gaza - Haaretz - Israel News
"The musician formerly known as Cat Stevens released a charity song on Monday to help the children of Gaza.
The United Nations said the London-born Yusuf Islam recorded a rendition of the George Harrison song The Day the World Gets Round, along with the German bassist and former Beatles collaborator Klaus Voorman.
All proceeds from the song will be donated to the UN agency in charge of Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, and to the nonprofit group Save the Children to be directed to aiding Gaza residents.
Gaza officials say 280 of the 1,285 Palestinians killed in the three-week
Israeli offensive were children. Children make up 56 percent of Gaza's 1.4
million people. The offensive aimed at stopping rocket fire by Gaza's Hamas rulers into southern Israel.
Yusuf explained on his Web site that he hoped the song would help remind
people of the immense legacy of love, peace and happiness we can share when we get round to looking at mankind's futile wars and prejudices, and start to change our foolish ways.
UNRWA said the donation would help it continue its vital work in the Gaza
Strip. "
