650 trucks with goods, construction materials enter Gaza

Some 650 trucks loaded with commercial goods and construction materials entered the Gaza Strip on Sunday as the Israeli occupation authorities reopened the Karam Abu Salem commercial crossing.

Head of the Coordination Committee for entry of goods in the Gaza Strip, Raed Fattouh, in a statement said that 90 trucks carried construction materials to be used for international projects, while 150 trucks are loaded with gravel for infrastructure work, and other trucks contained large quantities of fuel.

The Karam Abu Salem is the only commercial crossing operating in Gaza for the entry of goods, aid and fuel, which the Israeli occupation forces close every Friday and Saturday.
