Gaza – Ma'an – Two of the Israel/Gaza terminals will open on Thursday, what
will likely be the final day of crossings operations for the week,
Palestinian liaison officials were informed early the same morning.

Crossings officer Raed Fattouh said he was told to expect approximately 130
truckloads of goods, including 5 truckloads of plastic pipes for the coastal
waters, one truckload of goods for the power authority, one truckload of
cement for aid agencies and 2 truckloads of iron girders and gravels.

Fattouh said much of the construction was for repairs to the Al-Quds
Hospital, in the southern Gaza City neighborhood of Tel Al-Hawa, which was
severely damaged when Israel ground forces entered the Gaza Strip in the
second week of January. Fighting focused for several days on the middle and
upper-middle class neighborhood, as Israeli troops effectively cut the Strip
in two with a large military presence, with reports of direct fire on
civilians fleeing the hospital where hundreds had sought refuge.

The goods for the reconstruction project will enter at the southernmost
crossing, Kerem Shalom, along with limited quantities of domestic-use gas
and industrial diesel, Fattouh said.

Via the only crossing equipped for bulk goods transfer, Fattouh said 118
truckloads of wheat and animal feed will enter at Karni, located just south
of Gaza City.

Aid and comfort for the enemy is the only way to look at this.

This is just stupid to allow anything into Gaza, they received a Jew free Gaza and repaid Israel with kidnapping, rockets and terrorism.
