In March the first exports took place of agricultural products from the Gaza Strip to Israel since the imposition of the blockade in June 2007. This follows on from the partial resumption of commercial transfers of agricultural produce, furniture and garments from Gaza to the West Bank in November 2014, when Israel relaxed restrictions in the wake of the ceasefire ending the July-August 2014 hostilities. In the first quarter of 2015, some 234 truckloads of agricultural produce, furniture and garments exited Gaza for Israeli, international and West Bank markets, already exceeding the 228 truckloads recorded during the whole of 2014.
