Israel Outlines Plan to Control All Aid Entering Gaza
(Washington Post) Karen DeYoung - Israel has said it will take direct control of all humanitarian aid entering and distributed inside Gaza, according to agencies briefed on the plan last week by COGAT, the Israeli Defense Ministry unit that coordinates civil affairs in the territories. Under the initiative, only one entry point from Israel into Gaza at Kerem Shalom would remain open. All goods entering Gaza would be screened and directed toward several new "logistics hubs" established by Israel, potentially with security provided by private contractors. Israel would also institute a tracking system for all aid distribution and potentially insist that all aid employees are vetted to its satisfaction.
