Israel shipped humanitarian aid through Gaza crossings this week while terrorists continued to attack Gaza Belt communities with mortar shells and rockets. More than 220 trucks passed through the Sufa and Karni Crossings with food, animal feed, medical equipment and raw materials. Gaza Belt farmers interrupted the shipments at the Sufa Crossing with protests that the government is supplying terrorists instead of defending the Jewish communities.
More than 470 tons of cooking gas and more than one million liters of fuel for vehicles and for the Gaza power station were transferred through the Nahal Oz fuel depot, which was closed Wednesday afternoon after a misfired rocket wounded an Arab worker on the Gaza side of the crossing.
In addition, 42 parents and companions were allowed into Israel through the Erez Crossing for medical treatment. The Palestinian Authority routinely charges that people die at the crossing because Israel does not allow them to enter.
