BBC News - Israel confirms easing of Gaza blockade





Israel has confirmed details of what goods it will allow to enter the Gaza Strip with the easing of its blockade.
Consumer goods are being allowed but a "blacklist" of items including weapons and materials that could have a military use will be barred or limited.
Hamas, which controls Gaza, dismissed the concessions as of no use and said the blockade should be fully lifted.
