you mentioned some very welcome changes were made in june allowing more civilian goods to enter gaza but israel is still imposing restrictions that have nothing to do with security and for that reason are illegal so for example construction materials are not allowed to enter gaza gaza's gaza residents are not allowed to sell their goods outside of gaza including in the west bank which is palestinian territory and the movement of persons is restricted to all that extreme humanitarian cases there's no security justification for that and it's killing the possibility for a normal life in gaza that's not ok under international law ok well the commission is urging the israeli government is now to to focus. on hamas and not civilians but how is it possible to do that can you actually do that so you can have on the organizational one hand the not affect people who are elected on the other. well i mean i think it's quite clear israel can prevent weapons from coming in and it can prevent persons from entering israel from gaza if it has reasonable grounds to believe they present a security risk but it has

it's now two years since israel's military offensive on gaza and life is still no better for its residents israel is easing the blockade of the region but unemployment is still around forty percent forcing people into innovative ways to make a living artie's points nepal's. a group of gaza women are breaking new ground literally . they've signed up to work as ditch diggers to help support their families the red line and the work is very hard and life is even hiding these women of a family's breadwinners and with two out of three people unemployed in gaza the burden of responsibility on their shoulders is heavier and the shovels in the hands of the only my family has no one to take care of ones and we need money and that's why i'm forced to dig. three hundred women have signed up their dig holes for water reservoirs on farms in gaza and the pay little more than fifteen dollars a day hard work for private construction game and better than my has been tested provide for two families seen people if i don't do this work and what will i be left with probably not very much which is often the fate

normal life from taking place in gaza and i'm sorry to say that's exactly what the israeli policy did we think that the lesson from the flotilla incident should be that israel has a right to prevent weapons from entering gaza but it doesn't have a right to do what it's still doing which is to prevent purely civilian goods from coming in and out in order to punish the population you have to remember israel controls gaza's borders and that control creates obligations when you control a civilian population you're responsible for their rights and the law of occupation says that even under circumstances of security risks you have to allow people to lead normal lives so students need to be able to travel from gaza to the west bank in order to study families need to be able to travel back and forth in order to be to be reunited with each other and merchants in gaza have a right to sell their goods outside of gaza israel can certainly inspect the goods and make sure there's no security threat but that's all it can do and i'm sorry to say that that's not the case right now and the commission made a disturbing finding when it said that those civilian restrictions cou
