Navigation Primary Navigation Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Top Stories Most Popular Secondary Navigation Africa Europe Latin America Middle East North America Search Search: Israel allows supplies into Gaza AFP - Tuesday, November 25 JERUSALEM (AFP) - - Israel allowed some basic supplies into Gaza on Monday amid mounting international concern over a deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the besieged, aid-dependent Palestinian territory. Thirty-three truckloads of humanitarian and other basic goods were to be delivered to the Gaza Strip, a defence ministry spokesman said. The Israeli authorities had previously opened the Kerem Shalom border crossing for only one day since a November 4 surge in violence. Israeli authorities also opened the Nahal Oz terminal for the delivery of fuel to Gaza's sole power plant, a military spokesman said. The closure of the crossings had led to rising international concern over the situation in the overcrowded sliver of land whose economy has been crippled by an Israeli blockade imposed after the Islamist Hamas movement seized power in June 2007. With stocks running dangerously low, the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) had expressed fears it would have to suspend its food distribution for the second time since Israel completely sealed off the territory at the beginning of the month. The agency welcomed the decision to allow supplies in but said far more is needed. "It is most emphatically not enough," said spokesman Chris Gunness. "This drip-drip approach will not allow UNRWA to function." Israel had been expected to ease the blockade when a truce went into effect on June 19, but has cited continuing rocket and mortar fire from Gaza in refusing to do so. Hamas accuses it of failing to keep to its side of the bargain. Some Israeli ministers have called for the truce to be extended beyond its six-month term, but others, including Deputy Prime Minister Haim Ramon, have pressed for a major ground offensive aimed at toppling Hamas. The debate was expected to be taken up by the Knesset, Israel's parliament, which was to return from its winter recess on Monday for a special session on the situation in Gaza, convened at the request of the right-wing opposition. "If those on the other side want calm, there will be calm," Defence Minister Ehud Barak told Israeli public radio. Otherwise, he said, the military "is prepared to operate." Meanwhile, the Roman Catholic Church complained that the Israeli authorities on Sunday prevented the Vatican's envoy to Israel and two priests from entering Gaza. "It should be mentioned that Papal Nuncio Archbishop Antonio Franco, who is also the Apostolic Delegate in Jerusalem and Palestine, had the intention to celebrate mass at the Holy Family Church in Gaza with local faithful," the Latin Patriarchate in Jerusalem said in a statement. Because Gaza's parish priest is currently visiting his family in the West Bank, preventing the clerics from entering "left Gaza faithful with no mass," the statement said. It called the incident "not only a violation to diplomatic relations between states, but also violation to the right of faithful to hold their worship with no obstacles, at least during Sundays and feasts." But foreign ministry spokesman Ygal Palmor insisted "the problem is that the crossing points between Israel and Gaza are directly targeted by rocket and mortar fire, and suicide attempts. "As soon as it will be possible to reopen the crossings without putting at risk the lives of staff operating them, it will be done and everybody will be allowed through," he told AFP.
