1. Overall Progress:<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tAll indicators used to measure the progress on the implementation of the AMA show a situation worse than on 25 November 2005, the first week of the AMA implementation, except at Rafah crossing, where the number of people entering and exiting the Gaza Strip is approximately the same, and the opening of alternative commercial crossings for limited goods traffic. The divergence between the scheduled and actual activity levels can be seen on pages 5-7.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n

2. Changes since Report No 20 (22 August):<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n\t\t\t\tCrossings<\/i>:\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t• Rafah<\/strong> was open for two out of 14 days (12% of scheduled operating hours) enabling a total of 5,676 people to arrive and 4,246 people to depart the Gaza Strip; an increase on the previous period.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t• Karni<\/strong> was open for three out of 12 days (13% of scheduled operating hours) enabling a total of 677 truckloads of goods into and 21 truckloads of goods out of the Gaza Strip; a decrease on the previous period.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t• Erez<\/strong> was open for ten days for limited goods traffic but not aggregates.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t• Kerem Shalom<\/strong> was open for four days for limited goods traffic but not aggregates.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t• Sufa<\/strong> crossing was open for five days for limited goods traffic but not aggregates.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\tOther<\/i>:\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t• Obstacles to movement in the West Bank<\/strong> increased from 547 to 552<\/strong>. This is an increase of 176 or 47% over the baseline figure.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t• There were no reported security incidents impacting the operation of the crossing points during the reporting period.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
