Israel has barred members of the European Parliament from entering the blockaded Gaza Strip on Tuesday, according to reports.

Israel prevented an eighth attempt to break the blockade of the Gaza Strip from the sea on Monday.

Israel has imposed a siege on the Gaza Strip in 2006 after Hamas was voted to power after winning the Palestinian parliamentary election.

The crippling Israeli blockade has gutted the coastal enclave’s economy and deprived its two million inhabitants of many basic commodities.
