blockade

The head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, Unrwa, has accused Israel of weaponising humanitarian aid with its blockade of goods and electricity into Gaza.

But the current series of rallies, demonstrations and blockades is presenting an unusually tricky challenge.

All aid, not just food, is affected by the blockade.

A Hamas spokesman said Israel's blockade was "cheap blackmail" and a "coup" against the ceasefire agreement.

On these recent trips they were surprisingly well-informed, despite the regime's intense propaganda machine and information blockade.
