"When I need a certain machine to keep my factory running, I go myself to the country from which I ordered that machine and do training there for several weeks, simply because Israel has not allowed experts to come in the Gaza Strip to help us run such machines. This restriction has been in place since Israel enforced its blockade on the Gaza Strip,” Mohammad al-Telbani, owner of a leading wafer and chocolate factory in the Gaza Strip, told Al-Monitor.
Telbani's business hardships have also extended to other significant matters.
"My factory in central Gaza employs about 400 workers and produces almost 75 tons of various types of wafers, chocolate, candy and ice cream per day. In 2006, when Israel launched the first major military attack on Gaza, the factory was forced to stop functioning for about five months.

The chocolate factory currently meets the demands of Gaza’s local market, but the businessman is frustrated at Israel’s hindrance of his ability to export his produce abroad, or even to the nearby West Bank.
"Obviously, Israel's measures against Gaza's economy aren’t related to any security threats that Israel always alleges. Rather, it’s Israel's intention to keep the Gaza Strip undeveloped and unable to flourish economically, and thus become able to defy Israel's illegal occupation,” Telbani said at the Palestinian Union for Industries in Gaza.
Another major industrial facility in the Gaza Strip is the Al-Yazji factory in northern Gaza City, which produces soft drinks and beverages. Naser al-Yazji, owner and director of the factory, spoke to Al-Monitor about the hardships he has encountered over the past six years.
"The Al-Yazji company … has been in business since 1961. It is considered to be the largest such facility in Gaza and the West Bank.

Therefore, we plan to open up a branch facility in the West Bank. Still, Israel does not allow entry of some needed machines like air compressors and packaging equipment," Yazji said.
