The Kerem Shalom crossing will reopen to allow humanitarian aid to gradually enter the Gaza Strip, Israeli authorities announced. The crossing's reopening follows a security assessment.
The crossing, controlled by Israel, is located at the intersection of Gaza, Israel, and Egypt.
Kerem Shalom had been closed on Saturday along with all crossings to Gaza, which Israel described as a security measure. This closure included the Rafah crossing on the border between Palestinian territories and Egypt.
Israel's Coordinator of Government Activities in the Palestinian Territories (COGAT) stated the decision to reopen the crossing was made based on a security evaluation.
The Rafah crossing, the only Gazan gateway to the outside world that bypasses Israel, had reopened on February 2nd, following nearly two years of Israeli control during the conflict with Hamas.
