A Palestinian man shops at a store selling home appliances in a market in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip July 1, 2010. Israel is still deciding exactly what it will and will not allow into Gaza under a new approach towards the enclave, which it has blockaded for four years. As it changes the policy, some previously banned goods have started to flow across the border. As yet, there is no sign of the basic materials and machine parts which aid workers and businessmen say Gaza needs if the homeless are to be rehoused and the economy is to be revived to alleviate growing poverty attributed to the blockade.<br /> To match feature PALESTINIANS-ISRAEL/GAZA-BLOCKADE<br /> REUTERS/Ibraheem Abu Mustafa (GAZA - Tags: POLITICS BUSINESS SOCIETY)AP - An Israeli human rights group says settlements control more than 42 percent of the West Bank.
