Over the weekend Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit announced that Egypt will prohibit aid from entering the blockaded Gaza Strip through the Egyptian border. The decision came after the Viva Palestina aid convoy, led by British MP George Galloway, entered Gaza through Rafah prompting clashes between international activists and Palestinians on one side, and the Egyptian military on the other. Abul Gheit's announcement means that aid can no longer enter Gaza through the only border crossing not controlled by Israel.
