Blair calls for 'new approach' on visit to Gaza Strip
None
International Mideast envoy Tony Blair says the world has forsaken the Gaza Strip and is calling for a new approach regarding the war-battered territory. On a visit to Gaza Sunday following last summer's war with Israel, the former British prime minister visited Palestinian families still taking shelter in a United Nations-run school.
Reconstruction efforts have been slow, and Blair said some donor countries have not fulfilled their funding commitments. Blair said the stagnation in reconstruction was a "crime."
