Israel Halts Gaza Food Delivery, Bans Journalists

HeadlineNov 13, 2008

Earlier today, Israel held up a UN food delivery after Palestinians fired rockets overnight. The UN has warned it will be forced to halt food distribution unless deliveries resume.
In addition to the humanitarian blockade, the Israeli government is now barring all foreign journalists from entering Gaza for at least a week. An Israeli military spokesperson said only international aid workers and Palestinian medical patients will be allowed to enter or leave. In a statement, the Foreign Press Association called the media ban a “serious violation of press freedom.”
