We’re pleased to present this story from The BBC.

Israel has agreed to set up a “humanitarian corridor” in the Gaza Strip, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has said.

Under the plan, the Israeli military would suspend attacks in specified areas to allow Palestinians to stock on supplies, it said in a statement.

It said the move was an attempt to “prevent a humanitarian crisis”.

The UN Security Council is currently meeting in New York to discuss a resolution on the Israeli offensive.
