Eyeless in Gaza

Amidst all the hoo-ha, particularly from the BBC and the European Union, about callousness by Israel, it is worth remembering that Gaza's border with Egypt had also been closed. Egypt didn't even have the excuse that militants were firing rockets into its territory.

A couple of days ago Egyptian police fired on 60 Palestinian women who tried to rush the border in order to purchase supplies.

Now militants have blown the border open.

This is a far from pleasant situation. Let's keep the reporting accurate.
