US EditionIsrael reopens Zikim crossing in northern Gaza for aid trucks, COGAT says
The Zikim crossing reopening follows a ceasefire and addresses severe shortages in northern Gaza where famine conditions were declared, with aid deliveries now allowed after over two months.
- On November 12, 2025, COGAT reopened the Zikim crossing in northern Gaza to allow humanitarian aid trucks to enter, according to an updated report.
- The reopening followed a directive from the political echelon and came two months after the crossing was closed on September 12 amid UN and international aid agencies' repeated calls.
- Aid trucks will be screened by the Land Crossings Authority of the Ministry of Defence before UN dispatch, but once inside Gaza, damaged infrastructure and looting risks complicate supply distribution.
- Despite the opening, aid volumes remain much less than required and hunger remains catastrophic while the ceasefire has not halted all Israeli attacks.
- UNICEF said 1.6 million syringes and solar-powered refrigerators face clearance delays, with `Both the syringes and the... refrigerators are considered dual-use by Israel`, UNICEF spokesperson Ricardo Pires said.
