Ruweida Zumlout, a Palestinian owner of a textile

Ruweida Zumlout, a Palestinian owner of a textile factory in the industrial zone at Erez border crossing between the Gaza Strip and Israel, drinks tea at her house in Gaza city, Monday June 14, 2004. For years, the Erez Industrial Zone has stood as a symbol of Israeli-Palestinian economic cooperation, a small-scale effort to rise above the unending conflict dividing the two peoples. But a series of attacks here and Israel`s planned pullout from Gaza have spurred Israel to close its factories there, dealing the latest economic blow to this already poverty-ridden region.
