US EditionKey Gaza crossing will be reopened, says World Food Programme
The Kerem Shalom crossing will allow limited humanitarian aid into Gaza amid urgent fuel and food shortages, with aid entry scheduled between Tuesday and Wednesday, WFP said.
- On Tuesday, Israel said it would reopen the Kerem Shalom crossing at the Gaza–Israel–Egypt intersection to allow gradual entry of humanitarian aid following a security assessment by COGAT.
- On Saturday, Israel and United States strikes on Iran prompted reprisals from Tehran, leading Israel to close all Gaza crossings, including the Rafah crossing on the Egypt border.
- Aid groups warn Gaza is running out of limited fuel and food staples, with supplies estimated to last three or four days, while most Palestinians shelter in tent camps in Gaza City.
- COGAT said food deliveries since the October truce suffice for an extended period, while Israeli authorities will reopen Kerem Shalom crossing gradually but gave no aid volume or fuel comments.
- The regional war has widened, with the Rafah crossing reopening on Feb 2 after nearly two years under Israeli control as US President Donald Trump warned attacks on Iran could last over a month.
