Members of the tiny Christian minority in Gaza are again prevented this Christmas season from visiting Holy Sites in the West Bank, such as Bethlehem and Jerusalem.
According to Israeli authorities, residents of Gaza may travel abroad from the Palestinian enclave, but they cannot travel to Israel and from there on to the West Bank.
Out of the two million people living in the Gaza Strip, only 1,000 or so are Christians, with most of the latter being Greek Orthodox Christians.
