Subject: RE: BS: New Israeli atrocity: attack on Gaza aid
1. Aid goes to all these countries.

2. Being better off than the poorest in these counries is not hard.

I've been to about half of them and seen how horrendous the poverty is.

To say that Gaza is better off than them is not a claim to fame for Gaza.

3. The difference between Gaza and the countries you have listed is that Aid is not allowed in to Gaza in sufficient quantities.

There are no restrictions on Building materials, toys, meat, school books etc etc in the countries you have listed

The UN also reports that 75% of essential goods goin in to Gaza are smuggled from egypt. (link provided earlier in thread)

So the problem in Gaza is the Blockade.

The solution to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is for the blockade to be challenged.
