[teacher-mom]

Beginning this week, I will try to post all the weekly summaries of aid to Gaza.  These summaries, found at mfa.gov.il, detail exactly how many tons of aid were sent to gaza through Israeli crossings each week.  Keep in mind that there is also lots of aid coming in through the Egyptian bordereach week.
