That evil blockade of Gaza

'... the Rafah crossing will be opened on Wednesday and Thursday for a few people with humanitarian needs to travel from Gaza...

It has been 85 days since the Rafah crossing last opened. In February, 3,561 people crossed in both directions, the only time it was open in 2016.'

That is incredible, this evil blockade of Gaza must be ended. No wonder the protests about the blockade are so loud.

There's one small problem with the above, the actual story is this:

'... the Rafah crossing will be opened on Wednesday and Thursday for a few people with humanitarian needs to travel from Gaza to Egypt.

It has been 85 days since the Rafah crossing last opened. In February, 3,561 people crossed in both directions, the only time it was open in 2016.

By contrast, there are some 7,000 crossings between Israel and Gaza every week.'

Not quite what you'll learn from the institutionally anti Israel BBC.
