RAFAH, May 28, 2012 (WAFA) – Israel re-opened Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) crossing with the Gaza Strip on Monday to allow entry of 240 trucks carrying products into Gaza as well as pumping fuel to the power station while allowing only one truck to leave the Strip, according to crossing officials.
Raed Fattouh, who heads a committee in charge of entry of products into Gaza, told WAFA that while only one truckload of Gaza tomatoes will be allowed to leave Gaza on its way to Jordan, between 230 and 240 truckloads of aid and various goods will be allowed in.
