The United Nations is submitting the 45th bi-weekly report on the implementation of the 15 November 2005 Agreement on Movement and Access (AMA), covering the period 25 July – 7 August 2007.

During the reporting period, Israel has allowed 5,166 Palestinians stranded in Egypt for two months to return to Gaza through Nitzana Border Crossing on the Israeli-Egyptian border and then by bus to enter Gaza via Erez Crossing. An unknown number of Palestinians such as students and medical patients are still unable to enter Egypt from Gaza at this time. Erez crossing remained open for a limited number of Palestinian senior traders, a limited number of medical cases and a small number of Palestinians working for international organizations. A single-lane conveyor belt at Karni Crossing was open for two days in this reporting period for the import of grains and animal feed with the crossing remaining closed for all other imports and exports. As a result of the Karni closure, Sufa and Kerem Shalom crossings continue to function as the alternative entry points for basic supplies. Sufa crossing does not have the appropriate infrastructure to handle food supplies and concern over the way the food products are being processed is increasing.
