Israel to Partially Open Two Gaza Crossings

[11/August/2010]



Gaza, August 11 (Saba) - Israeli authorities are expected to partially open two crossings into Gaza Wednesday morning for the delivery of food and fuel, a Palestinian liaison official said, according to Qatar News Agency (QNA).

Raed Fattouh, the official who is charged with delivery coordination, said approximately 80 truckloads of humanitarian aid and commercial merchandise would enter the Strip through the Kerem Shalom crossing in the south.

Limited quantities of domestic-use gas and industrial diesel are also scheduled for entry through the same terminal, the official said, according to the Palestinian (Ma''an) news agency.

The bulk goods crossing in northern Gaza, Karni, will be opened for the delivery of 119 trucks of wheat and animal feed, Fattouh added.
