Gaza, MINA – Israeli occupation authorities have allowed Gaza farmers to export strawberries to European countries and the Gulf States, Middle East Monitor reported Wednesday (18/12).

Palestinian farmers from Gaza exported five tonnes of strawberries to the UK yesterday through Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion International Airport, the Jerusalem Post said.

A similar amount was sent to Qatar and the UAE via the Allenby crossing between the occupied West Bank and Jordan last week.

According to Chinese news agency Xinhua said Israel only allowed the export of a limited amount of strawberries to Europe, while the Israeli press reported that 450 tonnes were cleared for export to the occupied West Bank and further afield.
