Summary:
AMA Benchmarks:
• Rafah crossing has remained closed for the movement of people for 381 working days. It was last open on 09 June 2007. However 295 Palestinians from Gaza, who were stranded on the Egyptian side of the border, were allowed to cross in. Nobody was allowed out.
• Karni crossing has been closed since 12 June 2007 for the movement of goods in and out of Gaza. The single-lane conveyor belt/chute for wheat grain and animal feed was open on six days (12, 16,19,22,23 and 24 June) compared to seven days in the previous reporting period. 421 truckloads of grain and animal feed entered Gaza, via the conveyor belt, compared to 354 in the previous reporting period.
• Erez crossing has remained closed for more than two years since March 2006 for workers, and for more than a year, since 12 June 2007, for all other Palestinians, except for a limited number of Palestinian traders, aid workers and medical cases who have been granted special permits. For these persons, Erez crossing was partially open 12 out of the 14 scheduled days.
