The Zikim crossing has been reopened for the entry of humanitarian aid into the northern Gaza Strip, two months after it was closed amid an Israel Defense Forces operation.
The move means that there are now three operational crossings into the Strip.
In a statement from the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), it is noted that the crossing was opened with the approval of the political echelon, and that the aid will be transferred by the UN and international organizations following security inspections by the Crossings Authority.
The Zikim crossing was closed for aid entry about two months ago, on September 12 amid the “Gideon Chariots B” operation to seize control of Gaza City.
