Dozens of people attempting to prevent humanitarian aid from entering the Gaza Strip have arrived at the Nitzana Crossing between Israel and Egypt, the Tzav 9 protest group says.
In a statement, the group says, “The hundreds of aid and supply trucks for the Hamas terrorist organization will not enter through here today. We are proud and moved that the determination of the people is winning. No aid enters until the last of the hostages returns.”
The demonstrators oppose the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza, where 85 percent of the enclave’s 2.3 million residents have been displaced by war, while hostages kidnapped during Hamas’s October 7 massacre remain in captivity.
