EU foreign policy chief tours Gaza

None

The EU foreign policy chief launched a tour of Gaza Strip on Sunday by urging Israel to throw open the territory's long-blockaded borders.

 

Catherine Ashton is the most senior diplomat to visit Gaza since Israel announced earlier this month that it would ease its three-year-old blockade to allow most consumer goods into the coastal strip of 1.5 million Palestinians. (AP)
