Subject: RE: BS: Vilnai: inflict a 'shoah' on Gaza
""So Don, Israel allows food, medicine and humanitarian supplies into Gaza without restriction.
Aid agencies export surplus food from Gaza where once they had to bring it in from Egypt or beyond.
Proven facts.

Building materials are supplied to aid agencies in Gaza, but not to Hamas to build missile bunkers.
If Hamas would call off the war, restrictions could be removed.
""

And the very first aid agency to which you link states that:- ""Access to Gaza is a main concern to WFP and a significant challenge under normal circumstances.""

I don't think that the challenge is due to Gazan action. They aren't in control of the borders. They get shot if they approach them.

Give me your best estimate Keith, of how the date bars feeding children at one school for a year affect the economy of a nation of 1.7 million.

And how does WFP managing to supply food to ""Upwards of 60,000 people"" amount to the 1.7 million having a food surplus.

And how does passing out a few truckloads of date bars to another part of Palestine become "export".
