What can't enter Gaza?
Due to the blockade, many goods are restricted from entering Gaza. This includes certain building materials, dual-use items that could have military applications, and some types of machinery. The aim is to prevent materials that could be used to build weapons or fortifications from reaching groups within Gaza, though critics argue it severely impacts civilian life and reconstruction efforts.
