Or is there a dual use for children&#8217;s toys &#8211; maybe they can be turned into bunkers or smuggling tunnels?<br \/>Either way, on Thursday Israel announced toys will be allowed into Gaza.<br \/>For the last few years all Gaza&#8217;s toys have been smuggled in through underground tunnels.<br \/>Moatez Moshtaha says business in his toy shop has gone backwards 10 years since the siege started.<br \/>He used to import direct from China. But since the blockade began, he has had to rely on smugglers and pay up to an extra 40% for the goods.<br \/>Moshtaha has a shipment of toys stored in Israel and has been waiting for it to be delivered for three years. Now it finally will.<br \/>This news was wrapped up in an Israeli decision to &#8220;liberalise&#8221; the siege on Gaza.<br \/>Instead of only allowing in somewhere between 80 and 150 different types of food products, Israel is expanding the list.<br \/>It says all food products will now be available in Gaza. Before the siege around 4,000 different types were allowed in.<br \/>For many people here this news will simply feel like their jailer is now expanding the menu.<br \/>Israel&#8217;s announcement doesn&#8217;t lift travel restrictions for people in Gaza.<br \/>To leave here, you either have to be very sick, own a foreign passport, work for a foreign company or be attending an overseas university.<br \/>If you fit into one of these categories, you may be allowed to leave through Egypt&#8217;s Rafah crossing, and occasionally Israel&#8217;s Erez crossing. But even this is not guaranteed.<br \/>But at least from Tuesday, Gaza&#8217;s children can look forward to some new toys being available in the shops.<br \/>Notebooks for school children will also be allowed in.<br \/>A &#8220;liberalised&#8221; siege indeed.<\/p>\n<p>Source: Blogs.aljazeera.net<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Israel says the siege on Gaza is about security and making sure the deposed government of Hamas doesn&#8217;t get its hands on any more weapons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-466","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-c42-articles"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
