Bread, milk, and eggs were rationed In the Jewish sections of Jerusalem today after food supply convoys had failed to reach the city’s Jews for live days.

Each person will receive slightly over a half-pound of bread daily and eggs and milk have been reserved for children only. The children will be limited to two eggs and a half-pint of milk weekly. Unless the Arab blockade of Jewish Jerusalem is broken soon, the 100,000 Jewish residents face intense hardship, Jewish leaders declared.
