Gaza Herald – The Border Crossings and Borders Authority stated that 205 trucks entered the Gaza Strip on Tuesday via the Kerem Shalom crossing. The vehicles carried a mix of commercial merchandise, humanitarian assistance, and fuel supplies for institutional use.
According to the authority’s statement, the convoy consisted of 164 commercial trucks, 31 aid trucks, and ten fuel trucks. The commercial shipments included essential food items, fresh vegetables, fruits, clothing, frozen goods, vegetable oils, cleaning products, consumer goods, household tools, and other miscellaneous materials.
The humanitarian aid trucks delivered food supplies, nutritional supplements, flour, stationery, and other items provided by the World Food Programme, UNICEF, and the World Kitchen. These contributions aim to support vulnerable populations amidst ongoing crises.
The authority noted that the Zikim and Kissufim crossings remain closed. Consequently, all truck entries were restricted exclusively to the Kerem Shalom crossing. This operational limitation persists despite the broader context of restrictions on entering goods and aid into the Gaza Strip.
The situation continues against a backdrop of escalating humanitarian and living needs. Widespread destruction has affected various sectors due to the ongoing war and its severe consequences. The closure of alternative crossings further concentrates logistical pressure on the single active route.
