Blockade Halts Food Aid To Gaza

Michael Bailey: 70,000 Gazans have no drinking water; UN can't feed 700,000 refugees

Friday April 25th, 2008

Michael Bailey of Oxfam in Jerusalem tells The Real News Network that some 300,000 Gaza residents have drinking water at home for less than five hours per day, every four days, and the UN can no longer get supplies to the 700,000 refugees living in Gaza.
