Israel Seals Gaza Borders, Continues Attacks on Trapped  Population 
Three days after killing at least 20 Palestinians in  helicopter and tank 
attacks on the Gaza Strip—and just one week after  President George W. Bush met 
in Israel with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and  other top officials—Israel on 
Friday, Jan. 18 ordered all border crossings  into Gaza temporarily closed as it 
continued its deadly attacks on more  than 1.5 million Palestinians already 
denied food, clean water,  electricity and medical supplies. Israeli Defense 
Minister Ehud Barak  announced that the transfer of medicines and humanitarian 
aid into Gaza  now will be allowed “only in exceptional circumstances.”

e-mails in a  35-minute period:
