Eclipsed from the headlines by the ongoing carnage, there is an active

JERUSALEM — The Israeli defense minister, Ehud Barak, announced Monday night that he was lifting some of the restrictions imposed on Gaza and on Tuesday morning would allow delivery of a week’s supply of industrial diesel for the local power station, as well as 50 trucks of food and medical supplies.
The decision came as aid officials warned that Gaza, gripped by fuel and electrical shortages, was two or three days away from a health and food crisis, and as international alarm and criticism of Israel mounted.
Israeli officials they made the decision after reviewing the situation in Gaza, which they had insisted they would not allow to become a humanitarian crisis, and after seeing a reduction in rocket fire. They denied that international pressure was a factor.
