Gaza City, March 13 (RHC)-- Israel continues to restrict aid coming into Gaza, which is on the brink of famine.  The United Nations is reporting one truck was recently denied access to Gaza because it contained scissors inside medical kits. 

UNRWA head Philippe Lazzarini criticized the decision, saying: “Medical scissors are now added to a long list of banned items the Israeli Authorities classify as 'for dual use.'”  He went on to write: “The list includes basic and lifesaving items: from anesthetics, solar lights, oxygen cylinders and ventilators, water cleaning tablets, cancer medicines and maternity kits.”

Meanwhile, an aid ship bound for Gaza has set sail from Cyprus with 200 tons of food supplies.  The UAE-funded mission was organized by the two aid groups, World Central Kitchen and Open Arms.
