The siege on the Gaza Strip

Since June 2007, when Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip, Israel has imposed a tight blockade on the area. According to Israeli officials, the objective of the siege is to bring down the Hamas government and lead to the release of Gilad Shalit. The siege thus constitutes collective punishment of the civilian population, and as such it is unlawful.

Even after the withdrawal, Israel controls the Gaza Strip

Although Israel withdrew its forces from the Gaza Strip in September 2005, it continues to maintain complete control of the area’s airspace and territorial waters, and of most of the land crossings. As a result, Gaza residents wishing to leave the area must first obtain a permit from Israel. Since the siege began, Israel has only granted permits in rare cases that it classifies as “humanitarian.” The policy also applies to residents who merely wish to cross through Israel in order to reach the West Bank.

Departure from the Gaza Strip via Rafah Crossing, for which Egypt is responsible, is also limited; Egypt only opens the crossing in exceptional cases. Even if Egypt is able to open the crossing more often, this does not eliminate Israel’s responsibility toward the residents of the Gaza Strip, including ill persons who are unable to obtain necessary treatment in the area.

Harsh restrictions on imports

Under agreements between Israel and Egypt, the Gaza Strip’s foreign trade must be conducted through Israel. The quantity of goods that Israel allows into the area is less than one-quarter the quantity that entered prior to the siege, and far below the amount required for the population’s needs. The range of goods that Israel allows in is also much smaller: 150 types of goods compared with 4,000 before the siege. Israel refuses to publish the list of products permitted into the Gaza Strip, or the rules used in determining the list. The NGO Gisha filed an action in the Administrative Court demanding this information. In refusing the demand, the state argued that providing this information would harm state security and Israel’s foreign relations. The court has not yet given its decision.

Difficulties in rebuilding destroyed and damaged buildings

Israel prohibits the importing of building materials, including iron and cement. The prohibition has remained in place even after Operation Cast Lead, during which 3,500 houses were completely destroyed, thousands more damaged, and extensive harm caused to infrastructures. Israel’s prohibition is preventing the reconstruction of thousands of buildings destroyed during the operation.

Frequent blackouts, sewage flowing into the sea

The siege also severely impairs the supply of electricity in the Gaza Strip. Since September 2007, when Israel declared the Gaza Strip a “hostile entity” following the firing of Qassam rockets, Israel has cut reduced the supply of industrial fuel, which is needed to operate the power station in Gaza. Following a petition filed by the NGOs Gisha and Adalah, the state agreed to supply some 63 percent of the fuel needed to meet all the residents’ needs. In practice, however, it provides less than this quantity. As a result of Israel’s policy, 98 percent of Gaza residents suffer from planned blackouts lasting up to eight or ten hours a day. The other two percent of the population do not receive any electricity at all, in part due to the shortage of spare parts, which makes it impossible to repair infrastructure, or due to the proximity of their homes to the border with Israel.

The frequent power cuts and shortage of spare parts prevent the proper operation of wells and desalination plants. When combined with excessive pumping over the years, the result is that the water in the Gaza Strip is of poor quality. At the end of 2009, 93 percent of the wells were found to be polluted with high quantities of chloride and nitrates, far in excess of the World Health Organization’s recommended levels. The water supply is defective, and thousands of residents are not even connected to the water grid. Waste treatment has also been affected: every day, some 100,000 cubic meters of untreated, or partially untreated, wastewater flow into the sea.

Almost complete prohibition on exports

Prior to the siege, seventy trucks with goods intended for export, such as furniture, clothes, and agricultural produce, left the Gaza Strip daily. Israel currently prohibits almost all exports. From the beginning of the siege to the end of April 2010, Israel has only allowed the export of strawberries and flowers intended for the European market in isolated cases.

Serious harm to the agriculture and fishing sectors

Agriculture has been hit hard by the siege and thousands of persons have lost their source of livelihood. This is due, in part, to the prohibition on the entry of basic items such as pesticides and spare parts for irrigation systems, as well as the prohibition on exports. In addition, farmers in areas near the Israeli border are unable to reach their land because Israel has declared extensive sections of land a “security strip” to which access is forbidden or restricted. Moreover, Israel has adopted open-fire regulations that permit the shooting of any person who enters these areas, even if the person does not pose any danger. Israel has also restricted the area in which fishing is allowed; since Operation Cast Lead, fishermen are not allowed to go more than three nautical miles from the coast. The waters within this range yield a meager supply of fish, and fishermen find it difficult to make a living and to meet the demand for fish.

The result – economic collapse and severe poverty

Israel’s policy has led to economic collapse in Gaza. The prohibition on bringing in raw materials and on exports has led to the closing of 95 percent of the factories and workshops in the area. Tens of thousands of persons have lost their livelihood, and unemployment now exceeds 40 percent. As a result, more than 70 percent of the population depends on aid from international organizations to obtain food. In 2007, humanitarian aid amounted to 3 percent of imports; by 2009, this figure had risen to 26 percent.

The tunnels economy

As a result of the siege policy, an economy has developed in recent years based on tunnels between the southern Gaza Strip and Rafah, Egypt. Large quantities of goods have been imported through these tunnels. The Hamas government supervises the functioning of the tunnels and collects taxes from the operators. In addition to necessities, Palestinians also smuggle in weapons, including rockets. Following the expansion of tunnel activity, it was reported in 2008 that various products were once again available in the markets, and that prices had fallen somewhat due to increased supply. Nevertheless, the use of tunnels for this purpose is not a proper substitute for a stable local economy.

Holding Gilad Shalit as a hostage – a grave breach

The soldier Gilad Shalit was abducted in June 2006, and has been held since then in an unknown location under unknown conditions. His captors have made it clear that he is being held as a hostage and are demanding the release of Palestinians imprisoned in Israel. The abductors have not allowed representatives of the International Red Cross, or any other international body, to visit him. Over the year, Hamas published a video tape showing Shalit. Other than that, as far as B'Tselem knows, no information has been provided about his physical or mental health.

Shalit is a hostage due to the circumstances in which he was seized and the manner in which he is being held. International humanitarian law absolutely forbids the taking and holding of a person by force for the purpose of pressuring the adversary to comply with certain demands, while threatening to harm the person if the demands are not met. The taking of hostages is considered a war crime, for which all the persons involved bear personal criminal liability.

The Hamas leadership in Gaza bears an obligation to release Shalit immediately and unconditionally. Pending his release, his captors must treat him humanely and enable representatives of the ICRC to visit him

B'Tselem's Annual Report 2009-2010

14 June '10:
B'Tselem's Annual Report 2009-2010:
Easing of movement along with continuation of the Gaza siege and the settlement enterprise

  • 83 Palestinians and 7 Israelis killed in conflict since operation Cast Lead
  • Israel demolished 92 homes in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, since 2009. Home demolition was frozen in East Jerusalem in 2010

B'Tselem is today (Monday, 14 June) publishing its annual report on human rights in the Occupied Territories, covering the 16-month period from January 2009 to April 2010. The report surveys the events since the beginning of Operation Cast Lead. One and a half years after the operation, the allegations regarding breaches of international humanitarian law by Israel and Hamas have yet to be properly investigated.

Since the end of the Operation, there have been some important human rights improvements. The number of Israeli and Palestinian fatalities was much lower than in previous years and the number of administrative detainees continued to decline. In the West Bank, Israel removed some of its restrictions on Palestinian movement, and two changes made in the Separation Barrier connected some Palestinian communities that had been separated from the West Bank for almost six years. The Jerusalem Municipality froze house demolition in East Jerusalem in 2010. Most of these improvements, however, did not result from changes in Israeli policy or legislation, but are the result of the relative calm in the conflict.

In other areas, the violations continued as in the past. The general lack of accountability in cases where security forces are suspected of harming Palestinians remained in place. Israeli civilians who injured Palestinians and damaged Palestinian property were also generally not prosecuted for these attacks. Although Israel declared a freeze on construction in the settlements, the settlement enterprise continued to have severe repercussions for Palestinians’ human rights. The Jerusalem Municipality expedited the handling of a few plans to build settlements in the heart of Palestinian neighborhoods in East Jerusalem. The Separation Barrier continued to isolate a number of villages in the West Bank from their surrounding areas and detached farmers from their farmland. Israel continued to restrict Palestinian access to extensive areas in the West Bank, such as East Jerusalem, the Jordan Valley, and land west of the Separation Barrier, and generally treated Palestinian freedom of movement as a privilege it may retract at will.

Israel’s siege on the Gaza Strip remained. The almost total prohibition on the import of raw materials and on exports continued to paralyze local industry, and more than 70 percent of Gazans relied on aid from international organizations to obtain food. With the restrictions on the entry of raw materials, it was impossible to reconstruct the buildings Israel destroyed during Operation Cast Lead. Many items that Israel did not allow into the Strip, as well as weapons and ammunition, were smuggled in through the tunnels. The tunnels, which increase the power of Hamas, which controls them, cannot form the basis of a stable economy.

B'Tselem’s executive director, Jessica Montell, said, upon publication of the report: “This week marks the 43rd anniversary of the conclusion of the 1967 war, which was also the beginning of Israel’s occupation. As long as Israel controls millions of Palestinians, it must also safeguard their rights. The ongoing occupation both violates many of those rights, and poses clear dangers for Israel’s democracy. For this reason we, as Israelis, must demand accountability for actions taken in our name in the Occupied Territories and work to change in policies that infringe human rights.”

Statistics from the report

Palestinians and Israelis killed from 1 January 2009 to 30 April 2010 (not including fatalities in Gaza in Operation Cast Lead)

From 19 January 2009 to 30 April 2010, Israeli security forces killed 83 Palestinians, 20 of them minors, not including the Palestinians killed during Operation Cast Lead. Of that number, 31 of the Palestinians killed, some thirty-seven percent, were not taking part in hostilities. Most of the fatalities (67 percent) were residents of the Gaza Strip.

Palestinians killed three Israeli civilians, one a 16-year-old minor, and four members of the security forces. Additionally, two police officers were killed by unknown persons in the Jordan Valley.
Nine Palestinians were killed in the Gaza Strip by members of Palestinian security apparatuses or by persons who identified themselves as such. In addition, two Palestinians were executed after being convicted of collaboration with Israel.

Slower pace in building the Separation Barrier

In 2009, work on the Separation Barrier slowed appreciably. According to figures of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), only four kilometers were added in 2009. Of the planned 709 kilometers, 413 kilometers have been completed (58 percent). Despite two changes that were implemented following High Court rulings, the Barrier continued to severely harm tens of thousands of Palestinians.

Restrictions on movement, though eased, continue

In early February 2010, there were 44 staffed checkpoints inside the West Bank, compared with 64 in 2008. Eighteen of these were in Hebron. In October 2009, there were 488 physical roadblocks – dirt piles, obstructions, gates, and sections of road closed to Palestinians – compared with an average of 537 in the first nine months of 2008. Along the Separation Barrier, there were 39 checkpoints, 19 of which were the last inspection point prior to entering Israel.

House demolitions and restrictions on Palestinian building

From the beginning of 2009 to the end of April 2010, the Civil Administration demolished 44 residential structures built without a permit in Area C, which is under complete Israel control and comprises approximately 60 percent of the West Bank, leaving 317 Palestinians homeless. More than half of the demolitions took place in Bedouin communities in the Jordan Valley.
In 2009, the Jerusalem Municipality demolished 48 buildings in East Jerusalem, in which 247 Palestinians lived, compared with 89 buildings in 2008. In 2010, until the end of April, the Municipality did not demolish any homes in East Jerusalem.

Steady drop in number of administrative detainees

In the past two years, there has been a steady drop in the number of administrative detainees. On 30 April 2010, the number stood at 222. Of the 237 detainees held at the end of March 2009, 55 percent had been in administrative detention for six months to one year, and 35 percent for one to two years. Twenty-five had been held from two to four consecutive years, and one detainee had been in administrative detention for more than four and a half years

It is so depressing, Oil is refined, earth, water and air polluted! Do not change the genuine ancient the northern forests of Iran into some POPULUS farms! Do not make tourism an excuse to justify the invasion to country's natural resources. Development of construction( governmental & non governmental) in the national watershed in north of Tehran leads to the destruction of capital water resources.The responsible organization should urgently proceed for stopping destruction of these resources. Stop encroaching upon national forests and murdering foresters! Misuse of the natural resources is the result of short sightedness of the managers & authorities caused an unclear horizon before the protection of the environment.The government should announce its plan for natural resource management for fulfillment of its justice promotion program (generation and inter generation)

دولت بايد به قطع درختان بدون جايگزين و بسيار با ارزش جنگل هاي باستاني شمال به عنوان مادة اوليه صنايع چوب و کاغذ هرچه سريع تر پايان بخشد و منابع ديگري را براي آنها در نظر گيرد.

درغير اينصورت، نابودي اين جنگل هاي نادر خطاي فاحشي خواهد بود که داغ آن براي هميشه در تاريخ خواهد ماند !
