Israel restricts movement of Palestinian residents between the West Bank and Gaza. Israel has implemented a policy of allowing Palestinian movement from the West Bank to Gaza, but making it quite difficult for Gaza residents to move to the West Bank. Israel typically refuses to allow Gaza residents to leave for the West Bank, even when the Gaza resident is originally a West Bank resident. Gisha has helped Gaza residents who had moved from the West Bank to Gaza return to the West Bank by filing petitions to Israeli authorities arguing that extremely pressing personal circumstances provide humanitarian grounds for relief.
