Israel to partially reopen Gaza private goods trade - War on Gaza
Israel will partially reopen private sector trade with Gaza to reduce its reliance on humanitarian aid, the defence ministry's civil affairs agency for the Palestinian territories said Tuesday. As part of the call mechanism, a limited number of Palestinian merchants were approved by the Israeli occupation authorities, subject to several criteria and strict security screening, COGAT said. Israel has been attacking Gaza for 22 months and imposed a total blockade on the Palestinian strip on March 2, partially lifted in May to allow a US-backed private agency to open food distribution centres. Aid convoys and airdrops by Arab and European militaries resumed last month, as UN-mandated expert reports warned famine was unfolding in the war-torn territory. The COGAT statement said local private sector deliveries would be paid for by monitored bank transfers and be subject to inspections by the Israeli army before entering Gaza, "to prevent the involvement of the Plastenian resistance groups" Permitted goods under the new mechanism will include food staples, fruits, vegetables, baby formula and hygiene products, COGAT said. * This story was edited by Ahram Online.
