Restrictions on movement:
Israel continued to impose a tight closure of the oPt, imposing severe restrictions on themovement of Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including occupied EastJerusalem.
The illegal closure of the Gaza Strip, which has been steadily tightened since June 2007 has hada disastrous impact on the humanitarian and economic situation in the Gaza Strip. The Israeliauthorities impose measures to undermine the freedom of trade, including the basic needs for theGaza Strip population and the agricultural and industrial products to be exported. For 9consecutive years, Israel has tightened the land and naval closure to isolate the Gaza Strip fromthe West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem, and other countries around the world. This resultedin grave violations of the economic, social and cultural rights and a deterioration of livingconditions for 1.8 million people. The Israeli authorities have established Karm Abu Salem(Kerem Shaloum) as the sole crossing for imports and exports in order to exercise its control overthe Gaza Strip’s economy. They also aim at imposing a complete ban on the Gaza Strip’sexports. The Israeli closure raised the rate of poverty to 38.8%, 21.1% of which suffer fromextreme poverty. Moreover, the rate of unemployment increased up to 44%, which reflects theunprecedented economic deterioration in the Gaza Strip.
Jewish Majority:
On 26 February 2016, “Ateret Cohanim” organization delivered the heirs of Abdul Majeed alRajabi judicial notices to vacate their land in Batn alHawa neighbourhood, in Silwan village, southof East Jerusalem, on which 12 apartments are built.
