2/5 This morning, the Keren Shalom crossing was set to open to allow for the transfer of humanitarian aid, and the exit of foreign nationals.
3/5 There were 40 trucks loaded with food, medical equipment, and humanitarian aid on their way to the crossing from #Ramallah, #Jerusalem, and Tel Aviv, donated by OCHA, @UNICEF, the Red Cross and Doctors without Borders.
4/5 Close to 11AM, #Hamas fired mortars at the crossing, preventing the transfer of humanitarian aid. At 13:30, there was another attempt to allow the convoy to go through. While 8 trucks managed to enter, there was another mortar attack in which an @IDF soldier was injured.
