Israel to Let Construction Materials into Gaza for Schools, Homes
(Reuters) Ari Rabinovitch and Alistair Lyon - Guy Inbar, an IDF military spokesman, said Tuesday that Israel had given the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) the green light to bring building materials for 18 new schools and 1,200 new houses into Gaza. UN Middle East envoy Robert Serry said, "I welcome this significant step." One foreign diplomat suggested that the approval may have been an Israeli attempt to help undercut the rationale for sending another flotilla.
