Kerem Shalom Crossing Closed for Yom Kippur Holiday
The Kerem Shalom crossing on the Gaza border will be closed on Sunday and Monday due to the Yom Kippur holiday, Israeli authorities announced. The closure is a temporary measure, with the crossing set to resume normal operations immediately after the holiday.
Authorities stated that outside of these two days, the crossing continues to function at its usual capacity to meet international community needs. Hundreds of trucks carrying humanitarian aid enter the Gaza Strip daily through Kerem Shalom, according to the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) office, part of the Ministry of Defense.
