Some Magnanimous Gesture

Israel Allows Clothing, Shoes Into Gaza

"Israel has allowed the first commercial shipment of shoes and clothing into the Gaza Strip in almost two years."

Blockade means clothes ordered for Gaza arrive two years late and ruined by damp

"JERUSALEM // The commercial shipments of clothes and shoes from Israel to merchants in Gaza ordered more than two years ago began to arrive in the Palestinian territory this week – but local traders warned it is not an indication of the resumption of greater economic ties between the two sides.
Nearly three years into Israel’s economic blockade of the Gaza Strip, 20 shipping containers of clothes and shoes – stuck in storage in Israel for the past two years under a ban on imports to Gaza – arrived in the enclave on Sunday and Tuesday, but were almost completely ruined by damp, merchants said."
