Archived from the original on 2024-11-19. Defense officials confirmed that the IDF is aware of the problem. They said that at one point, the government had even considered making the clans to which the armed men belong responsible for distributing aid to Gaza's residents, even though some of the clans' members are involved in terrorism, and some are even affiliated with extremist organizations like the Islamic State.
@Makeandtoss My recent change was reverted [[[1]]
This article is not only about Blockade since hammas took over in 2007. Gaza has been under varying level of bloackde since 1990's. It is explained in other parts. The opening para should reflect it. It should not tell user's that the blockade was implemented after 2007, which is misleading. Please tell me your objections so that it can be corrected

I think the restructuring of the sentence to start with the Hamas takeover instead of the Israeli blockade was misleading; although I do not object to indicating the existence of an older blockade. Makeandtoss (talk) 08:16, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like to say that Israel and Egypt are currently blocking exit from the Gaza Strip. This should be in the first paragraph - possibly in the first sentence. Why? Because some people have the impression that it is only Israel that is responsible for the blockade. If it is true that also Egypt blocks (or restricts) this should be made clear.
However, a recent articl says:
Israel Retains Control of Rafah Border Crossing Between Gaza and Egypt
Israel is the principal actor due to its control over the majority of Gaza’s borders, and it blocks Gaza’s access to the West Bank. Israel also restricts imports, exports, electricity, water, etc. Egypt's closure of the Rafah crossing is mentioned in the lead. So, the article is really about the Israeli blockade of Gaza, not Egypt's. Egypt only controls the crossing into Egypt. As a sovereign country, it is allowed to do so, but what Israel has done is far more extensive. Astropulse (talk) 21:07, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I also wonder if it can be clarified that most (or nearly all) of the blockade is being imposed by Israel, while Egypt is only blocking Gaza's southern border.
level-5 vital article is rated C-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
