APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Gaza - 11 July 2021. Palestinian labourers work inside clothing factory (UniPal 2000) at the Karni industrial area, east of Gaza city.
STORYLINE
Head of UniPal 2000, Bashir Al-Bawwab, said that in the 2015 was the first time he has been able to export clothes to Israel since 2007.
In 2007, Israel imposed a tight blockade on the Gaza Strip, and considered the enclave a hostile entity, right after Hamas Islamic movement had forcibly seized control of the coastal enclave.
Before 2007, Israeli clothing merchants and businessmen used to send raw material to Gaza cloth-making factories and tailors, which sent various kinds of products back to the Israeli markets.
Israel lifted some restrictions it had imposed during last month's conflict. The crowded Mediterranean territory, home to around two million Palestinians, has been under an Israeli blockade since 2007. The resumption of some trade and the postal service came one month after a ceasefire between Israel and the enclave's Hamas rulers to end an 11-day conflict
