The measures Israel and the EU agreed upon include an increase of daily trucks for food, fuel and other items entering Gaza, the opening of several other crossing points in both the northern and southern areas, the reopening of the Jordanian and Egyptian aid routes, as well as the distribution of food supplies through bakeries and public kitchens throughout the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n

Israel blocked all food deliveries<\/a> by international aid agencies to Gaza for 11 weeks<\/a> \u2014 arguing that they were being seized and sold by Hamas militants \u2014 as it continued its military assault in the coastal enclave.<\/p>\n
