That truth went right over your head, didn't it? If you wanted to, you can't bring humanitarian aid to Gaza. The Israelis won't let you. Not at all - you don't run blockades - pretty simple. Are you actually stupid enough to believe aid conveys/boats can select their own routes? As for Aid, Israel has been letting in aid occasionally during the entire conflict and even used their own military trucks to do it as the bombing started. Egypt on the other hand closed their border and began shooting at Palestinians trying to cross. Of course the amount of aid can be argued but Israel only wants to let in enough to stave off a humanitarian crisis. news.yahoo.com Israel allows humanitarian aid into battered Gaza Buzz Up Send Email IM Share (AFP) – Israel allowed trucks filled with humanitarian aid to enter the battered Gaza Strip on Tuesday for a second day, as it pursued a deadly air blitz against Hamas targets, the military said. "A convoy of 109 trucks carrying international humanitarian aid was authorised to pass on Tuesday through the Kerem Shalom crossing," a military spokesman told AFP. He said the aid included five ambulances and was provided by Turkey, Jordan, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees and others. On Monday, Israel allowed more than 80 trucks filled with aid to pass through the same crossing. Israel has kept Gaza -- where most of the 1.5 million population depends on foreign aid -- virtually sealed off since the Islamist Hamas movement seized control of the territory in June last year.
