According to the Israeli English language daily, Ha'aretz, Israel has decided to permit shipments of clothing and shoes into the beleaguered Gaza strip. Palestinian officials explained that the first shipments were due to arrive on Thursday. This will be the first time that such necessities have enter Gaza since the blockade began three years ago. The list of items prohibited from entering Gaza, however, remains extensive. It is unclear whether the slight loosening in the blockade is the result of recent pressure from the United States.
