Crossings closed all day

5.1.09

We've heard that in a first since the armed conflict began, all crossings into Israel and Egypt were kept closed today as a result of the ground offensive.

This means no aid went in - although some NGOs are reporting that the problem is now not getting more aid, but distributing it - and no Palestinians came out, either for treatment in hospitals or as part of the exit of foreign nationals. Fingers crossed for better news tomorrow.
