Gaza Terminal

From Israel the only way to get to Gaza is to go through the Erez checkpoint. I had been there a few years ago. It has now become huge. The main building looks like an aiport hall. And actually, there is even a big sign on the building announcing « Terminal to Gaza ». The route to Gaza is quite different from boarding on a plane though : after « checking in », you go through numerous rooms, halls, caroussels. No signs, no human being, just cameras watching you.
And then, at some point, you understand you are in Gaza-Palestine once you are in an outdoors path, where you feel you are still being watched by soldiers on miradors. I am telling all this just to say how happy I am that with the Gaza-Sderot vidéos, it is now going to be possible to discover what life is like both in Gaza and Sderot, beyond closed borders and checkpoints.
