UN Office of the Special Envoy for Disengagement - October 16, 2007 - Back to Resources Page

The United Nations is submitting the 50th bi-weekly report on the implementation of the 15 November 2005 Agreement on Movement and Access (AMA), covering the period 3 - 16 October 2007.

Rafah and Karni crossings have now been closed for four months. Sufa and Kerem Shalom continue to function as the principal alternative entry points for commercial and humanitarian supplies, though Sufa still lacks the appropriate infrastructure to handle food and medical supplies. A single-lane conveyor belt at Karni was open for the import of wheat grain and animal feed for four days compared to five days in the previous reporting period. The quantity of goods imported into Gaza continues to decline. A total of 617 truckloads, including 48 for humanitarian agencies, were allowed entry into Gaza during this reporting period, compared to 633 truckloads in the previous period.

As of 12 October, new working hours were institutionalized at the Erez terminal. The crossing is now closed from 15:00 on Fridays to 07:00 on Sundays. During the reporting period, Erez crossing was open on all 13 scheduled days for people with special coordination arrangements with the Israeli District Civil Liaison, including a limited number of patients, aid workers and traders. No other Palestinians are allowed to cross.
