Israel to open one Gaza crossing

Three hundred truckloads of goods and humanitarian aid will be permitted to enter the Gaza Strip, Israeli officials maintaining the siege on the coastal enclave informed Palestinian liaison officers. According to Palestinian (Ma'an) News Agency, Palestinian liaison official Raed Fattouh said that the sole operating crossing point Kerem Shalom located in the southern Gaza Strip would open for goods including 10 loads of cement for projects run by the German Development Agency, 15 loads of cement and iron bars and 52 loads of concrete aggregates for UNRWA projects. Three trucks will also carry equipment for the Palestinian mobile telephone service provider Jawwal. Limited quantities of domestic-use gas will also be pumped through the same crossing added Fattouh.
