An exhibition was held in the besieged Gaza Strip to showcase Palestinian products.

Held under the auspices of Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah, the event was launched by the Union for Palestinian Products and included food, clothes, agriculture produce, diary and other kinds of products made by Palestinians in the Strip.

Owners of Palestinian factories who took part in the exhibition said that they hope the 11-year Israeli siege imposed on Gaza would be lifted in order to be able to export their products abroad.

Gaza has been enduring a strict Israeli siege, backed by Egypt and the international community for 11 years.

Opinion: The siege of Gaza endangers everyone, Israelis included, so end it now
