Jerusalem - Israel will allow some fuel and medicine into Gaza, easing its blockade on the territory, Israel's Channel 2 TV reported Monday.

The report, attributed to officials in Defence Minister Ehud Barak's office, could not be immediately confirmed.

Earlier on Monday, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak called Barak and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and urged them to ease the blockade, imposed because of a surge in Palestinian rocket attacks on southern Israel from Gaza.
