Borders closed but they allow aid through (aunty reports it as border being opened, but then no other traffic is allowed through, so the border isn't open) although it does have the decency to report that while the border was sealed supplies were allowed through later in the article, oh and this is while Israel was under attack from rockets during the "ceasefire"

Here's one that mentions the borders being clamped tight apart from essentials (and it also mentions some palestinian school girls who were murdered by gazan militants in a rocket attack)

A total of 106 trucks carried medicine, fuel, cooking gas and other vital goods into Gaza, including a small donation from Egypt

Interesting it mentions Egypt, they're keeping their border shut too you know, but hey, they're not Israel so is it ok for them to do that?

Talking of which, this somewhat bias blog reports: http://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/200...into-gaza.html

Convoys carrying food and medical aid worth six million pounds ($1 million) sent by the Egyptian Red Crescent to the Hamas-run Gaza Strip on Monday await inspection at the Israeli controlled Karam Abu-Salem [Kerem Shalom] border crossing.

Mohamed Orabi, the head of the organization in North Sinai, told AlArabiya.net that five trucks were loaded with 40 tons of flour, 20 tons of rice and some medical supplies and sent to Gaza Strip.

An Egyptian official at the Rafah border crossing said Egyptian authorities had agreed with Israel to allow the trucks in on Monday however through the Karam Abu-Salem border so that Israel could ascertain that no weapons were being smuggled into the Strip.

Now, would you care to actually answer the points I raised?
How do you feel about the Jordanian and Egyptian occupations post '48?
