The response issued by the State to petition by Gisha demanding to allow commercial passage through Karni Crossing, HCj 2990/06

April 27, 2006

To read the response click here.

Background:

Karni is the commercial and humanitarian lifeline of Gaza, through which its residents get food and medicine and export agricultural and other goods. The petitioners maintain that under international law, because Israel controls the passage of goods to and from Gaza and refuses to allow Gaza to operate a seaport or airport, it owes a duty to keep Karni crossing open, in order to prevent an economic and humanitarian crisis. That duty extends not just to allow supply of humanitarian goods into Gaza, but also to permit Gaza farmers, merchants, and industrialists the steady, predictable ability to export their goods.
