Gaza Strip	American-Born Citizen trying to get into Gaza to see family friends Posted: Sun November 19, 2006 03:30 AM UTC Hi, Can anyone give me some information on how to enter Gaza? I know I have to enter from Israel via Erez. But do I need a special permit? Also, is it better to try to enter alone as a 22 year old female (American Born), or with my mother who was born in Palestine, but is an American citizen (we both have American Passports)? What's the best way to get in? Tell the border control officers that I am visiting family/friends, which is what I want to do...or should I say that I want to meet with a doctor to volunteer because I am premed (I do have connections with a Gazan doctor). Any information or direction would help, thanks =) Report Advertising or Inappropriate Posting	queennoor	2 replies [Reply]

Hi,

Can anyone give me some information on how to enter Gaza? I know I have to enter from Israel via Erez. But do I need a special permit? Also, is it better to try to enter alone as a 22 year old female (American Born), or with my mother who was born in Palestine, but is an American citizen (we both have American Passports)? What's the best way to get in? Tell the border control officers that I am visiting family/friends, which is what I want to do...or should I say that I want to meet with a doctor to volunteer because I am premed (I do have connections with a Gazan doctor).

Thanks for responding to my question. I am going to try and contact the U.S. Dept. of State and see what they say, that is if I can get a hold of them. I wonder though if Rafah is open to U.S. citizens to enter Gaza?? Who knows....bye bye =)

Peace
