Published On 16 Jun 2010
The United Nations says it will distribute 10,000 tonnes of aid bound for Gaza that was seized by Israel in a bloody raid on the Freedom Flotilla that tried to break its siege on the Palestinian territory last month.
Israel has agreed to release all of the seized goods – including construction and building materials – and the UN is to supervise its delivery and distribution in Gaza, although a delivery date has not been set.
