Israel already sends aid to Gaza and quite a bit of it. They have closed off the sea access because they need to inspect what goes through, particularly weapons and the like.

Humanitarian Aid Transferred from Israel to Gaza in 2010, as of May 8, 2010:

# In 2010, 230,690 tons of humanitarian aid has been transferred from Israel into Gaza through the Israel-Gaza goods crossings
# More than 6.5 million gallons (25 million liters) of heavy duty diesel fuel for Gaza’s power station has been transferred from Israel to Gaza
# More than 12,000 tons of cooking oil has been transferred into Gaza
# 6,354 Gazans have entered Israel on medical grounds
# 86 truckloads of flowers and strawberries have been exported from Gaza into Israel

So if they want to get aid to Gaza, they have a way of doing it without breaking through a military zone.

Thanks!

I know. Went over that in the previous thread before I took a nap.

They also get direct aid from the state of Israel.
