Today, Thursday, the Israeli occupation authorities continue to close the Kerem Shalom commercial crossing for the export of products from the Gaza Strip to the West Bank and abroad for the third day in a row.

According to local sources, the daily losses of the various sectors operating in the field of export are estimated at half a million dollars due to the closure of the crossing, including losses resulting from the suspension of agricultural exports of about two hundred and seventy thousand dollars.

Human rights organizations active in Gaza considered that the Israeli occupation’s decision to prevent the export of industrial and agricultural products constitutes a crime of collective punishment that includes farmers, merchants, and fishermen directly, in addition to stopping the export and marketing movement that harms a wide sector of workers in the fishing and agricultural sector, reaching about 60,000 families. .
