Israel will allow local merchants to transport goods into the Gaza Strip as part of wider efforts to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in the region.
The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, a division of the Israeli Ministry of Defense, announced on Tuesday that Gaza-based merchants will be issued permits to transport vital goods into the starvation-plagued strip.
“Following the Cabinet’s decision to expand the scope of humanitarian aid, a mechanism was approved for the gradual and controlled renewal of the entry of goods through the private sector in Gaza,” COGAT wrote on social media. “This aims to increase the volume of aid entering the Gaza Strip, while reducing reliance on aid collection by the [United Nations] and international organizations.”
