The Silent war: Israel's blockade of gaza

Kashfi Halford 2010 docu 10 min.

Israel's blockade of Gaza has been in place for almost three years. This
film, commissioned by UKbased charity, Medical Aid for Palestinians,
explores the consequences of this crippling siege. Building on existing
closures and restrictions, the blockade has meant the delay or denial of a
wide range of items (food, industrial, educational, medical) deemed
"nonessential" for a population unable to be selfsufficient after decades
of dedevelopment and occupation. The blockade prevents access by sea, land
and air, effectively sealing off a population of 1.5 million Palestinians
from the outside world. This short film examines what the blockade means
for the people of Gaza, as they struggle to rebuild their lives over a year
after Operation Cast Lead (Israel's assault on the Gaza Strip of Winter
20089).
