Relief aid to Gaza disrupted
Transcribed from the clipping
“Relief aid to Gaza disrupted. The U.N. and the Red Cross curtailed aid deliveries to the Gaza Strip Thursday, citing Israeli attacks on their staff and installations. The death toll in Israel’s offensive climbed higher as international diplomats worked on a proposed cease-fire deal.”
The labels on the map read: “Militants in Lebanon fired rockets into Israel Thursday, striking a house in Nahariya. Israel responded with mortar fire on open areas in southern Lebanon.” “Hundreds of families fled their homes in Rafah, according to the Palestine Red Crescent.” “The bodies of 35 people were found in the rubble of a battle zone in Gaza City.”
“Refugees fleeing to Deir el-Balah from the western shore, villages near Netzarim and the eastern border areas.” “A U.N. official said Israeli forces fired on a U.N. aid truck in northern Gaza, killing the driver.” Sources: ESRI; United Nations. The Associated Press.
Context added by this archive
A wire-service map. Both directions of fire are labeled on it, and so is the aid truck.
A correction
The graphic carries no date. It refers to a proposed cease-fire deal, rockets fired into Israel from Lebanon on a Thursday, and 35 bodies found in Gaza City, which places it in the first ten days of January 2009.
