In the aftermath of the Hamas takeover of Gaza, Israel closed the crossings into and out of the Gaza Strip[1], and the economic boycott became complete. The Israeli Customs Authority instructed agents not to transfer commercial goods to Gaza, with the exception of a limited amount of products, defined as for humanitarian use only.[2]

Fuel, essential supplies and medicines are transferred in small quantities by humanitarian organizations, mostly through the Kerem Shalom crossing (which is significantly limited in terms of capacity), in order to prevent an immediate humanitarian crisis.

Data compiled by Gisha, a human rights organization protecting the right of Palestinian residents to freedom of movement, show that Gaza's industry is collapsing. Out of the 3,900 factories in Gaza producing food, pharmaceuticals, construction materials, wood, paper, craftwork, engineering materials, metals, plastics and rubber, more than 2,900 factories have ceased to produce.>Legal Center for Freedom of Movement Gaza
