Palestinian workers holding their identification documents and permits to enter Israel, wait at the Palestinian side of Erez border crossing between Israel and the Gaza Strip , early Sunday June 20, 2004. Some 500 Palestinian laborers crossed into Israel for the first time since Israel barred workers from entering the country after the killing of Hamas leader Sheik Ahmed Yassin three months ago. Before Israel`s killing of Yassin, up to 15,000 Palestinian laborers crossed daily into Israel and the travel ban was a further blow to the poverty-ridden Gaza Strip, which reportedly has a 60 percent unemployment rate.
