Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Ehud Barak okayed the transfer of more than 310 tonnes of cement for rebuilding a flour mill, a sewage treatment facility and the British cemetery, one defence official said.
The one-off consignment will also include some steel and is expected to be transferred "in the coming weeks," he said.
Many buildings in Gaza remain in ruins since Israel’s December-January offensive because of an acute shortage of construction materials that can only officially enter Gaza through Israel-controlled crossings.
