extract block in file

I need to extract a particular block from a file whose locations are not known but the only identity is a word. For example

in a file I have

ABC

asdklf
asdfk

FGH

dfdfg

asdlfk
asdfl

...

JHK

ppoi
lkjkj


FGH
sdjsd
sdf
sd



-eof-

I have to extract the block whichever begins with FGH like

FGH

dfdfg

asdlfk
asdfl

FGH
sdjsd
sdf
sd

Here the significance is in between two blocks (ex FGH and JHK) i have double spacing.

How can I do this ?
