This report covering the reporting period (15 June 2014 – 14 June 2015)
documents the state of the Gaza Strip’s border crossings. Further, it presents comprehensive
statistics on the border crossings showing the latest developments at
the crossings and the impacts on the civilians’ rights. The report also refutes the
Israeli claims on the alleged “easing” of the closure imposed on the Gaza Strip.
This report also documents the movement at the crossings used for people,
mainly the cruel restrictions imposed on the movement of the Gaza Strip
population through Beit Hanoun crossing, which is their sole outlet to the West
Bank, occupied Jerusalem and/or Israel; and Rafah International Crossing Point,
which is their main outlet to the world. The report also addresses the impact
of the restrictions imposed on 1.8 million and depriving them of their right to
movement to the world or West Bank to have access to hospitals, universities, holy
sites and relatives.
The report reviews the humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip and deterioration
of economic, social and cultural rights of the Gaza population due to the
serious and long-term impacts of the closure policy. It particularly sheds light on
the violations of the rights to an adequate standard of living; adequate housing;
education; health and economic rights.
The report also emphasizes the violation of the Gaza population’s right to an
adequate standard of living and the high rate of families suffering from food
insecurity and facing difficulties in obtaining food and potable water. It also
documents the suffering of population resulting from violation of their right to
adequate housing and building new houses, the imposition of restrictions on
the entry of construction materials in addition to the failure of the UN Gaza Reconstruction
Mechanism. The report also tackles the deterioration of economic
indicators and how thousands of Palestinian families lost their source of income
as thousands of workers in various economic sectors in the Gaza Strip lost their
workplaces and became unemployed. It also sheds light on the high rate of
Palestinian families living under the poverty line and how the unemployment
rates increased unprecedentedly due to the almost-total paralysis of all economic
sectors.
