Kollektiv bestraffning, isolering, metoderna att demoralisera och avhumanisera ett folk är många.
Israel har stängt postgången till och från Gaza!
Palestinians trapped in Gaza as Israel suspends postal services
Passport paperwork is piling up in post offices, as Israel has prevented mail from entering or leaving the Gaza Strip since May 11, thus preventing many students, patients and those with foreign residencies from traveling.
…
Since the first day of the war on Gaza on May 10, Israel has prevented paper mail from leaving the West Bank or entering Gaza. Passport transactions in Gaza are approved and issued by the Palestinian government in the West Bank.
Mahmoud Faraj, director of the Marrakech Express freight and cargo company in Gaza, told Al-Monitor, “Since May 11, thousands of passport and visa transactions have been piling up at our company due to the closure of the Erez crossing, and many people are prevented from traveling, be it through Egypt or Israel.”
He added, “The closure of the crossing affects the work of many institutions that are waiting for financial and banking transactions to complete their work in Gaza.”

Abdo explained that the Euro-Mediterranean Observatory for Human Rights submitted a complaint to the UN Universal Postal Union (UPU) regarding the suffocating Israeli restrictions.
“Israel is a member of the UPU, and it thus bears obligations to guarantee the freedom of transit of parcels, and in the event of noncompliance, other member states have the right to impose sanctions on it, including canceling the provision of postal services for it," he said.
Abdo noted, “The [observatory] is also constantly communicating with the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories, and European MPs, asking them to put pressure on the governments of their countries to demand that Israel fulfill its obligations as an occupying power as per international law.”
