Israel's Control over Gaza: The Impact on Daily Life
Despite Israel physically withdrawing its troops from Gaza, it still maintains control over crucial aspects such as airspace, waters, border crossings, access to resources, and movement of people. This control extends to regulating imports of materials like concrete needed for reconstruction and restricting medical supplies, impacting the ability to rebuild after attacks and limiting healthcare services. The stringent control also hinders access to external medical care, resulting in significant delays and fatalities while waiting for permits. Furthermore, Israel's blockade and buffer zone significantly impede Gaza's ability to import food and produce its own, exacerbating food insecurity in the region.
