GAZA CITY (AFP) – Gaza Strip exports resumed Sunday as the Zionist regime reopened a trade crossing, Palestinian and occupying regime officials said, days after it was shut over an alleged attempt to smuggle explosives from the coastal enclave. The Kerem Shalom crossing, the only point of entry for goods between Gaza and the occupied territories, was closed last week. Impoverished Gaza, home to around 2.3 million Palestinians, is under a tight land, air and sea blockade imposed by Egypt and the Zionist regime. On Sunday morning the Kerem Shalom gateway was reopened, said Raed Fattouh, head of the Presidential Committee for the Coordination of Goods, which is affiliated to Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas’s Fatah party.
