In this Sunday, Feb. 2, 2014 photo, a Palestinian collects mint at a farm in al-Qarara, Gaza Strip. Israel bars virtually all exports from Gaza, as part of punitive policies against the territory’s ruling Islamic militant group Hamas, but makes an exception for some fresh produce, allowing export abroad, but not to Israel and the West Bank, traditionally Gaza's main market. Israel has cited security reasons for its export restrictions, but critics say that once goods are allowed out of Gaza after having undergone security checks, there's no reason to limit the destinations they can be sent to.
