Israel will not ease up on

the blockade until there is

a mechanism in place to

stop weapons smuggling.

What have been the effects of the Israeli blockade?

They have been severe. Economic activity was already at a low level when the Israeli attack began. The United Nations Works and Relief agency (Unwra) provides basic food aid to about 750,000 people in Gaza. The director John Ging said when the blockade tightened in November that Unwra was running out of food.
