Israel's Gaza Siege Imposes Crushing Control on Local Movement and Daily Life
Israel's control over Gaza has severely restricted movement in the territory, likened to a 'tool of siege' by critics, undermining fundamental rights under international humanitarian law. The restrictive measures have been described as 'punishing' and are having a devastating impact on residents' daily lives.
Israel's control over Gaza has severely restricted the movement of its residents, making it a 'tool of siege' that infringes on their fundamental right to freedom of movement under international humanitarian law. The restrictions have had devastating consequences for Gazans, including widespread poverty and food insecurity. The blockade, which has been in place since 2007, has also prevented Gaza's economy from developing and accessing basic necessities like education and healthcare. The situation remains a major concern for the international community, with many calling for an end to the restrictions.
