Since occupying the West Bank and Gaza Strip in 1967, the Israeli army has developed a complex system of rules and sanctions to control the movement of the 4.5 million Palestinians living there. These restrictions violate the fundamental right of Palestinians to freedom of movement. As a result, other fundamental rights are violated, including the right to life, the right to access health care, the right to education, the right to livelihood, the right to family unity and the right to freedom of religion. Gisha – Legal Center for Freedom of Movement is an Israeli non-profit organization founded in 2005 whose goal is to protect the freedom of movement of Palestinians, especially residents of the Gaza Strip. Gisha means both “access” and “approach” in Hebrew. The organization uses legal advice and public advocacy to promote rights guaranteed by international and Israeli law.

Israel has implemented a policy that allows Palestinians to move from the West Bank to Gaza, but makes it quite difficult for Gazans to move to the West Bank. Israel generally refuses to allow residents of the Gaza Strip to travel to the West Bank, even if the resident of the Gaza Strip is originally a resident of the West Bank. Gisha has helped Gazans who have moved to Gaza from the West Bank and returned to the West Bank by petitioning Israeli authorities, arguing that extremely urgent personal circumstances provide humanitarian reasons for relief. [4] We are deeply concerned that unarmed Palestinian protesters are being killed and injured by Israeli fire on the Gaza border. Israel has the right to defend its borders and citizens, but must never target unarmed persons who pose no threat to the security forces. We are also deeply concerned that Hamas has risked the lives of protesters in Gaza, including children, to cover up terrorist activities.
