		By world standards, the $100 million airport, located at the southern end of the dusty, crowded Gaza Strip near the Egyptian border, is definitely not in the big leagues -- despite its Islamic-inspired architecture and the intense publicity surrounding its opening.
		Pini Schiff, spokesman for the Israel Airport Authority, denies the ban on Israeli passengers and cargo at Gaza is a protectionist measure.

		Although Israel withdrew from Gaza more than a year ago, its control over the lives of Palestinians there is in some ways even tighter than before, a new report by an Israeli human rights organisation says.
		It says: "Gaza residents know that significant aspects of their lives - the ability to exit or enter Gaza, the supply of medicine, fuel and other basic goods, the possibility to transport crops to export markets, the ability to use electric lights - depend on decisions made by Israel's military."
		The study ends by saying that despite the withdrawal of its soldiers, Israel's role in the territory means that it remains bound under international and humanitarian law to allow freedoms of movement and economic activity.
