[–] bendak@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) That is just not true, I encourage you to read about it on Wikipedia. The Egyptian border has also been blockaded since 2007. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockade_of_the_Gaza_Strip permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JasSmith@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago At least you could read the source you cite. Facing mounting international calls to ease or lift their blockade in response to the Gaza flotilla raid, Egypt and Israel lessened the restrictions starting in June 2010. Israel announced that it will allow all strictly civilian goods into Gaza while preventing weapons and what it designates as "dual-use" items from entering Gaza.[100] Egypt partly opened the Rafah border crossing from Egypt to Gaza, primarily for people, but not for supplies, to go through. Additionally, any Gazan my leave by ship at any time. permalink fedilink source parent
