But the death or illness of Palestinians doesn't interest the media much… Israel is the victim; how could the victim do anything wrong? It's a dilemma, so it just ignores it. When Israel attacks Gaza today or so, there will be no media there… they will be sipping martinis in the Colony hotel or the King David, waiting to be told what to write. Miri Eisen or Isaac Herzog will give them the press release, print ready.

Gaza issues toxic water warning

UN officials have asked Israel to lift the blockade. Israel says its actions are to counter militant rocket fire.

The Coastal Municipality Water Utility issued the warning in radio and newspaper advertisements, blaming Israel for the absence of equipment and chemicals for treating water.

It said there had been no deliveries of chlorine through the Israel-controlled goods crossing since 21 January.

Israel has tightened its blockade of the Gaza since the militant Hamas movement took control in June 2007.
