Israel opens Kerem Shalom border crossing for aid delivery
Jerusalem, Undefined – AFP
Israel approved a “temporary measure” allowing aid to be delivered directly to Gaza through its Kerem Shalom border crossing, the prime minister’s office said on Friday, after weeks of pressure.
Before Friday’s reopening, all aid entering the Palestinian territory had to pass through the Rafah border crossing from Egypt.
The United Nations has said the amount of aid reaching Gaza has been well below the 500 truckloads a day that entered prior to October 7. A UN official said hunger and desperation were driving people to seize the limited aid that is arriving.
