Gaza strip: Four Palestinians dead due to Israeli bombing at the Kerem Shalom crossing

4 citizens were killed in an Israeli bombing at the Kerem Shalom crossing, including the crossing director, according to Rafah crossing media.

The Crossings Authority and the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip said that the director of the crossing, Bassam Ghaben, was killed along with three others “in a targeting by occupation aircraft of the crossing’s facilities while they were working.”

Last Friday, Israel agreed to bring aid into Gaza “temporarily” through the Kerem Shalom crossing, thus opening a second supply route in addition to the Rafah crossing between Egypt and Gaza.

On Tuesday, the United Nations envoy to the Middle East, Tor Wensland, welcomed the Israeli measures in this regard, describing them as “positive” but “far from sufficient in terms of what is required to deal with the humanitarian catastrophe on the ground.”
