Israel Enables Gaza Flower Exports to Europe
(Christian Science Monitor) Erin Cunningham - Flower farmers in Gaza exported a shipment of 30,000 flowers through an Israeli crossing on Thursday. Israel's Defense Ministry responded to a request by the Netherlands to enable Gaza's flower growers to export their entire harvest of some 35 million roses, carnations, and chrysanthemums to markets in European countries for the first time since the 2006-07 season. The next shipment of 250,000 flowers is slated for next week.
