With Israel’s ongoing violations of key terms of the agreement, from the sporadic drones to the gunfire, the heavy artillery along the eastern side of what the Israelis describe as the yellow line, a key breach of the ceasefire remains the ongoing blockade of the crossings, preventing the entry of key essentials into the Gaza Strip. From the time the ceasefire was signed to now, almost three weeks, if we multiply the number of trucks that were agreed to enter the Gaza Strip, we’ve seen evidence of improvement, but not at the agreed levels. Markets are also flooded in Gaza but not with what people need to survive. They are filled with chocolates, instant noodles, biscuits, and there is a large absence of vitamin and protein sources.
