Gaza’s clothing sector sizes up thanks to Hamas-Israel truce
For the first time since the Israeli blockade on Gaza began, textile sales are enjoying an uptick.
Gaza City, Gaza Strip — Owners of sewing and textile factories in the Gaza Strip are hoping to see a steady increase in their exports to the West Bank and Israel. They credit a slight improvement to the truce understandings reached between Hamas and Israel in March and called on the governments in Gaza and Ramallah to offer incentives to the textile sector.
The truce provided for economic incentives in the Gaza Strip and an increase in exportation at the border crossings.
