Israel permits additional goods to enter Gaza
Israel's military liaison to the Palestinian sides announced that more goods and Palestinian workers will be allowed entry.
Israel has further loosened restrictions on goods and materials entering the Gaza Strip, Israel’s military liaison to the Palestinian territories said, after hundreds of Palestinians gathered on Wednesday to protest the tight blockade.
Beginning Thursday, an additional 1,000 Palestinian workers can enter Israel from the coastal enclave, the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) said. Permits will only be given to those who are fully vaccinated or who have recovered from the virus.
In addition, Israel will allow additional imports of vehicles and “equipment for international civilian projects” in the Gaza Strip, according to a COGAT statement.
The permissions are conditioned on “continued preservation of security stability,” the defense body said, adding, “An expansion of these measures will be considered in accordance with situational assessments.”
