Israel says new Kissufim Crossing into southern Gaza opened for aid delivery

The Defense Ministry’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) announces that the new Kissufim Crossing between Israel and the southern Gaza Strip has been opened for the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Palestinians.

The crossing was opened “in accordance with the directive of the political echelon, and as part of the effort and commitment to increase the amount and routes of aid to the Gaza Strip,” COGAT says.

Trucks carrying food, water, medical equipment and equipment for shelters for southern and central Gaza passed through the new crossing after being inspected by authorities at the Kerem Shalom Crossing.
