Israel Addresses Humanitarian Needs in Gaza

Israel Addresses Humanitarian Needs in Gaza

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert reports that since the start of Operation Cast Lead, Israel has permitted hundreds of tons of humanitarian aid into Gaza, making certain Gazans are able to receive basic supplies. Officials however acknowledge delivery of goods is somewhat hampered at times due to the fighting.

On Tuesday night, Olmert spoke with US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice; explaining Israel is opening a 'humanitarian corridor' to further ensure Gaza residents are able to receive their basic needs.

Senior security officials will be involved in briefings on Wednesday to decide if tens of thousands of reservists who were called up to duty will be brought into Gaza to take the operation to the next stage, to bring Hamas fighters to their knees, or alternatively, to decide Israel�s goals have been achieved and to acquiesce to mounting international pressure.

With the UN Security Council preparing to convene and possibly release a resolution against Israel, officials in Jerusalem appear less concerned with the international body�s anti-Israel mantra and it does not appear the UN�s cries will compel a decision in Jerusalem.
