Israel ‘agrees Gaza aid corridor’
Israel has agreed to set up a “humanitarian corridor” in the Gaza Strip, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has said.
Under the plan, the Israeli military would suspend attacks in specified areas to allow Palestinians to stock on supplies, it said in a statement.
It said the move was an attempt to “prevent a humanitarian crisis”.
The UN Security Council is currently meeting in New York to discuss a resolution on the Israeli offensive.

If what is happening in Gaza is being “prevented” from “becoming” a humanitarian crisis, I’d hate to see what the Israeli military does qualify as a crisis.
Needless to say, this is obviously a very positive development.
