GAZA CITY (Ma’an) -- The Gaza Strip’s sole commercial crossing is closed until Tuesday because of Israeli holidays, Gaza crossing officials said.
Raed Fattouh said the Israeli-controlled Kerem Shalom crossing was not operating for four days, the combination of the Friday-Saturday Israeli weekend, and the Sunday-Monday holiday for the Jewish festival Sukkot.
Since Israel closed all other border terminals, Kerem Shalom is the only entry point for commercial goods and humanitarian aid into the besieged coastal enclave, home to over 1.6 million Palestinians. more
