<\/p>\n

\n

In the 2 weeks prior to the signing of the AMA in 2005 an average of 192 trucks entered through Karni daily and 22 exited.<\/span>3 <\/sup><\/span>At the end of the first year of AMA implementation, 205 trucks entered and 28 left an average increase of 15%. Sufa crossing opened for the same number of days. Rafah had been closed immediately prior to the AMA agreement; a year later it has been open on 4 days during a two week period. However, Rafah continues to open erratically and the average number of people crossing is only a third of that during the first 6 months of the AMA implementation.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

• Karni crossing <\/strong>was open on all 12 scheduled operating days enabling a total of 2,468 truckloads of goods into and 331 truckloads of goods out of the Gaza Strip. Karni was open for 47% of scheduled hours compared to 40% during the previous period.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

• Sufa crossing <\/strong>was open on 9 of the 12 scheduled working days for the transport of aggregates; being closed on 11-14 November due to IDF operations northeast of Rafah.<\/p><\/div>\n
