The Gaza Crossings and what they can tell us

Phelim Joseph Giblin
My research focuses on two key Gaza Strip Crossings; Rafah which is controlled by Egypt, and Kerem Shalom controlled by Israel.  In a study focusing on a ten year span between 2007-2016, encompassing five different Egyptian regimes and several Israeli elections I try and determine what causes these crossings to open or close.  I look for information vital to the humanitarian crisis that has been facing the Gaza Strip for some time.
