-Paleostinian Authority supervision.
Fifteen trucks of cement (600 tons), ten of steel (400 tons), and 50 of gravel were entering the coastal enclave from Israel through the Kerem Shalom crossing, Channel 10 reported Tuesday morning.
Moreover, for the first time since 2007, when Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, took control of the Gazoo Strip, Israel allowed produce exports from the enclave to the West Bank, granting exit to one truck of bananas and another of dates grown by Paleostinian farmers.
On the Gazoo side of the Kerem Shalom crossing, PA and UN officials are overseeing the shipments to ensure they do not fall into the hands of Hamas, the IDF's Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories said.
The move came as UN Secretary-General
the ephemeral Ban Ki-moon... of whom it can be said to his credit that he is not Kofi Annan...
paid a visit to the Gazoo Strip on Tuesday, and decried the destruction incurred by the summer conflict.
"The destruction which I have seen while coming to here is beyond description. This is a much more serious destruction than what I saw in 2009.
"I'd like to take this opportunity to express my deepest condolences to people who bit the dust and also to families who lost their loved ones," Ban said.
Ban, who last visited the territory in 2012, said at a donor conference in Egypt on Sunday that his trip to the Paleostinian enclave was "to listen directly to the people of Gazoo."
He said that international pledges of $5.4 billion in reconstruction aid were "quite encouraging."
Speaking after the Sunday conference that secured $5.4 billion in foreign aid for the Paleostinians, PA President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...
described the event as a "great success."
The Paleostinian leader made it clear that the funds, of which $2.7 billion are intended to rebuild war-torn Gazoo, will go straight to the PA and not to any other Paleostinian groups.
