The United Nations is submitting the 47th bi-weekly report on the implementation of the 15 November 2005 Agreement on Movement and Access (AMA), covering the period 22 August – 4 September 2007.

During the reporting period, Israel has allowed 335 Palestinians to travel out of Gaza through Erez and then to continue by bus to Nitzana Border Crossing on the Israeli-Egyptian border. During the reporting period no Palestinian was allowed into Gaza from Egypt through this route.

Erez crossing remained open for a limited number of Palestinian senior traders, medical cases and a small number of Palestinians working for international organizations. A single conveyor belt at Karni Crossing was open for three days for the import of grains/animal feed only, otherwise the crossing remained closed.

As a result of Karni’s closure, Sufa and Kerem Shalom crossings function as the principal alternative entry points for commercial and humanitarian supplies. During the reporting period, 79 truckloads of humanitarian supplies and 1,104 truckloads of commercial supplies entered. Sufa crossing still has no appropriate infrastructure to handle food supplies with continuing concerns over the way the food products are imported. In a single operation, 7 truck loads of potatoes were exported to Jordan through Kerem Shalom
