For third day in a row, protesters block aid from entering Gaza at Kerem Shalom crossing

Families of hostages held in Gaza and other protesters are holding a demonstration at the Kerem Shalom border crossing to prevent humanitarian aid from entering the Gaza Strip for the third day in a row.

Hundreds more protesters are expected to arrive at the border crossing throughout the day.

The protesters are demanding that all humanitarian aid entering the war-torn strip be cut off until the hostages are freed and returned to Israel.

In a statement, the group of protesters say they walked a roundabout way in order to avoid roadblocks set up to prevent their arrival.
