now we understand that a lot of pressure came on israel as well from israeli businesses that contract out gaza workers inside gaza or in for example the textile industry that kind of pressure being put on the israeli government because those businesses were concerned that those goods were not coming out we understand that the exports of goods from gaza could well starts tomorrow but of course this kind of movement at the crossings here this crossing being opened is all dependent it's staying open his old dependence on the relative calm between hamas and israel continuing. goods coming in include construction materials petrol gas and vegetables and clothing. for go out all over europe with where the stores were closed transport has stopped people have been really suffering thank god things have calmed down now in gaza a bit on the trucks can start moving across the border again when i figure we're going to. israel has also increased the area in which fishermen can work could see from three to six in a school miles off the northern half of gaza and from three to nine nautical miles in t
