The IDF and COGAT, the military’s liaison to the Palestinians, officially announce that the Kerem Shalom Crossing will be opened tomorrow for the examination of humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip from Egypt.
Until now, aid trucks entering Gaza have been examined by Israeli authorities at the more southern Nitzana Crossing between Israel and Egypt, causing delays in the entry of food, water, and medical supplies to the Strip.
Kerem Shalom will be used to examine the aid trucks in addition to Nitzana, to speed up the process.
No aid will be entering from Israel to Gaza directly. All the trucks will be examined in Israel at Kerem Shalom and Nitzana, and then make their way to Egypt’s Rafah border crossing to enter Gaza.
