The Israeli authorities impose a “buffer zone” or access restricted areas (ARA) on the Gaza Strip, prohibiting Palestinians in Gaza from accessing large parts of land and sea. The restrictions undermine the livelihoods of tens of thousands of Gazans. Through the manner in which they are enforced, which includes live fire, the lives and well-being of those who live in and enter the area are put at risk. Prior to November 2012, the Israeli authorities had made statements that Gazans were prohibited from accessing closer than 300 metres from the fence on land. In practice, the “no go zone’’ on land was at times enforced a few hundred metres beyond this, with a “high risk zone” extending sometimes up to 1,500 metres.
