Israel lets 14k tons of building material into Gaza

Israel allows 14,000 tons of building material into war-devastated Gaza on Wednesday, the defense ministry says of the largest single shipment since a July-August conflict ended in the blockaded territory.

COGAT, the coordinating body for Israeli government policy in the Palestinian territories, tells AFP that some 354 trucks passed through the Kerem Shalom goods crossing in the southern Gaza Strip carrying “construction materials,” without elaborating.
