UN Office of the Special Envoy for Disengagement - July 24, 2007 - Back to Resources Page


The United Nations is submitting the 43rd bi-weekly report on the implementation of the 15 November 2005 Agreement on Movement and Access (AMA), covering the period 27 June – 10 July2007.

There have been serious restrictions for the transit of people and goods in and out of Gaza. The two main crossings, Rafah and Karni have been effectively closed. The closure of Rafah Crossing has left thousands of Palestinian travelers including medical patients, children and elderly unable to cross into or out of Egypt. At Karni Crossing a single-lane conveyor belt/chute was open for six days to enable the import of wheat and other grain. Karni crossing remains closed for the import of all other items and all exports. Erez Crossing continues to remain closed to Palestinian workers and has been closed to them since 12 March 2006. It was open on 4 July (for the first time since 12 June) for a limited number of Palestinian merchants and senior traders. A limited number of medical cases have crossed at Erez after special coordination with the IDF. Sufa and Kerem Shalom crossings were open to facilitate the entry of humanitarian and commercial food commodities during the reporting period.
