Morning Ireland: John Ging, Director of UN Relief and Works Agency in Gaza, says that only a complete removal of the blockade will help the Palestinian people
All civilian goods are to be allowed into the territory unless they feature on a new prohibited list, to be drawn up by Israel.
The move follows the killing of nine Turkish activists by Israeli commandos who boarded an aid flotilla last month.
The Middle East Envoy, Tony Blair, said the real test now would be not what was said but what was done.
