One Big Prison Freedom of Movement to and from the Gaza Strip on the Eve of the Disengagement Plan March 2005 Researched and written by Yehezkel Lein Data coordination by Najib Abu Rokaya, Ariana Baruch, Rim ‘Odeh, Shlomi Swissa Fieldwork by Musa Abu Hashhash, Iyad Haddad, Zaki Kahil, Karim Jubran, Mazen al-Majdalawi, ‘Abd al-Karim S’adi Assistance on legal issues by Yossi Wolfson Translated by Zvi Shulman, Shaul Vardi Edited by Rachel Greenspahn Introduction “The only thing missing in Gaza is a morning line-up,” said Abu Majid, who spent ten years in Israeli prisons, to Israeli journalist Amira Hass in 1996.1 This sarcastic comment expressed the frustration of Gaza residents that results from Israel’s rigid policy of closure on the Gaza Strip following the signing of the Oslo Agreements. The gap between the metaphor of the Gaza Strip as a prison and the reality in which Gazans live has rapidly shrunk since the outbreak of the intifada in September 2000 and the imposition of even harsher restrictions on movement. The shrinking of this gap is the subject of this report. Israel’s current policy on access into and out of the Gaza Strip developed gradually during the 1990s. The main component is the “general closure” that was imposed in 1993 on the Occupied Territories and has remained in effect ever since. Every Palestinian wanting to enter Israel, including those wanting to travel between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, needs an individual permit. In 1995, about the time of the Israeli military’s redeployment in the Gaza Strip pursuant to the Oslo Agreements, Israel built a perimeter fence, encircling the Gaza Strip and separating it from Israel.

  • Occupied Palestinian Territory (Including East Jerusalem)
    Reporting period: 29 March - 4 April 2016 Weekly Highlights For the first week in almost six months there have been no Palestinian nor Israeli fatalities recorded. 88 Palestinians, including 18 children, were injured by Israeli forces across the oPt. The majority of injuries (76 per cent) were recorded during demonstrations marking ‘Land Day’ on 30 March, including six injured next to the perimeter fence in the Gaza Strip, followed by search and arrest operations. The latter included raids in Azzun ‘Atma (Qalqiliya) and Ya’bad (Jenin) involving property damage and the confiscation of two vehicles, and a forced entry into a school in Ras Al Amud in East Jerusalem. On 30 occasions, Israeli forces opened fire in the Access Restricted Area (ARA) at land and sea in Gaza, injuring two Palestinians as far as 350 meters from the fence. Additionally, Israeli naval forces shelled a fishing boat west of Rafah city, destroying it completely. Israeli forces continued to ban the passage of Palestinian males between 15 and 25 years old through two checkpoints controlling access to the H2 area of Hebron city. This comes in addition to other severe restrictions on Palestinian access to this area in place since October 2015. During the reporting period, Israeli forces removed the restrictions imposed last week on Beit Fajjar village (Bethlehem), which prevented most residents from exiting and entering the village. This came following a Palestinian attack on Israeli soldiers near Salfit, during which the suspected perpetrators were killed. Israeli forces also opened the western entrance to Hebron city, which connects to road 35 and to the commercial checkpoint of Tarqumiya.

  • Ground to a Halt, Denial of Palestinians' Freedom Of
    Since the beginning of the second intifada, in September 2000, Israel has imposed restrictions on the movement of Palestinians in the West Bank that are unprecedented in scope and duration. As a result, Palestinian freedom of movement, which was limited in any event, has turned from a fundamental human right to a privilege that Israel grants or withholds as it deems fit. The restrictions have made traveling from one section to another an exceptional occurrence, subject to various conditions and a showing of justification for the journey. Almost every trip in the West Bank entails a great loss of time, much uncertainty, friction with soldiers, and often substantial additional expense. The restrictions on movement that Israel has imposed on Palestinians in the West Bank have split the West Bank into six major geographical units: North, Central, South, the Jordan Valley and northern Dead Sea, the enclaves resulting from the Separation Barrier, and East Jerusalem. In addition to the restrictions on movement from area to area, Israel also severely restricts movement within each area by splitting them up into subsections, and by controlling and limiting movement between them. This geographic division of the West Bank greatly affects every aspect of Palestinian life.

  • Great Return March": Demonstrations of April 27, 2018, and Continuation
    רמה כ ז מל ו תשר מה ו ד י ע י ן ה ש ל מ רמה כ ז מל ( ( ו למ תשר מ" מה ו ד י ע י ן ה ש ל מ ( ( למ מ" ¶ The “Great Return March": Demonstrations of April 27, 2018, and continuation to be expected April 29, 2018 Palestinians cutting the security fence near the Karni crossing (IDF Spokesperson’s Office, April 27, 2018) Incidents on Friday, April 27 Overview On Friday, April 27, 2018, the fifth Friday of the demonstrations of the "Great Return March," riots took place along the Gaza border with Israel. An estimated 10,000 Palestinians participated in the incidents in five focal points. The events of last Friday included many acts of violence, the most serious of which was an attempt to break through the fence and penetrate into Israel in the Karni crossing area. In view of the blatant attempt to violate Israel’s sovereignty, the IDF spokesperson announced a new policy of response, in which every violent activity would be met with violent activity against Hamas. As part of this policy, Israel Air Force aircraft attacked six targets of Hamas’s naval force. The acts of violence on the last Friday came into expression in several ways: throwing stones and rocks; throwing IEDs and hand grenades at IDF soldiers; flying kites over Israeli territory with burning objects attached to them (some of the kites caused fires in Israel and extensive damage); sabotaging the security fence along the border and the barbed wire close to it (including two incidents of setting fire to the fence, pulling the fence and attempts to cut it).

    Tubas Baseline Surveillance Report Food Security Information System for Tubas, Hebron and Bethlehem Governorates (FSIS) Household Baseline Surveillance Report Tubas Governorate Conducted by Applied Research Institute-Jerusalem (ARIJ) Funded by Spanish Cooperation January 2011 1 Tubas Baseline Surveillance Report 1. Project Background The FSIS project "Food Security Information System in Tubas, Bethlehem, and Hebron Governorates" is a one of the approved projects by CAP 2008 in the oPt under food aid and food security sector. It is funded by Spanish Cooperation and implemented in the year 2008-2010. The project comes in response to the food insecurity status in the oPt especially in Tubas, Bethlehem and Hebron governorates, where the largest percentage of food insecure population exist (33%, 15%, 33% respectively)1. The project aims at investigating food security and vulnerability status of the vulnerable households of Tubas, Hebron and Bethlehem governorates, and improving awareness and capacities of stakeholders to assist them in developing proper food security strategies, through creating food security information system (FSIS). The project aims at improving the awareness of food insecure and poor households toward better food practices and supporting the poorest of the poor to increase their food production activities in a sustainable approach. During the implementation of the project an analytical study was conducted to improve the understanding of the Palestinian socio-economic and nutritional health status, causes behind food insecurity over the different life sectors, the nutritional performance of Palestinian poor peoples, the poor people awareness about better nutritional food intake performance, and to investigate the current nutritional diseases due to the imposed reduction in amount, quality and type of food eaten by poor people.
