Israel restricts flow of goods into Gaza at Karem Abu Salem crossing

Israel has tightened controls at the Karem Abu Salem crossing, significantly limiting the flow of essential supplies into Gaza. Last week, only about 42% of goods from Egypt and 65% from the Ashdod port made it through, according to the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). This restriction exacerbates the already dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, raising concerns about the availability of food, medicine, and other necessities. Such measures have significant implications for the region's stability and the daily lives of Gaza's population.
