U.N. to ship flotilla supplies to Gaza

The Israeli military says an agreement has been reached with the United Nations to deliver tons of aid to Gaza that was carried on the flotilla intercepted by Israeli naval commandos on May 31.

The military said the United Nations will supervise use of the goods, including food, clothes and medicine. Up to now, the Hamas rulers of Gaza have refused to accept the aid as a protest against Israel’s three-year blockade.

Israel seized tons of goods from the six-ship flotilla in a bloody raid last month that left nine activists dead. — ap
