Israel opens three major crossings into Gaza Strip

Gaza – Ma’an – Israel reopened the Karem Shalom crossing southeast of Gaza for truckloads with humanitarian aid on Sunday, while Karni and Nahal Oz crossings will be opened later on Monday, an official said.

The head of the Goods Committee, Raed Fattuh, told Ma’an that Israel allowed 130 truckloads, 79 of them loaded with UNRWA supplies, and 41 loaded with commercial goods for the private sector. Ten others were bound for farms.

Karni will be opened on Monday for 70 truckloads of fodder and wheat, Fattuh added.
