Take a look at the documentation for the twitter module. Your query returns a List of instances of the twitter.Status class. A short documentation of twitter.Status can be found here: http://static.unto.net/python-twitter/0.6/doc/twitter.html#Status

You could do:

tweets=api.GetSearch("Ghaza",per_page=100,page=1)
for t in tweets:
  print t.text

According to http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/, you can find more documentation with these three commands run from shell:

$ pydoc twitter.Status
$ pydoc twitter.User
$ pydoc twitter.DirectMessage
