Israeli settlers have made it difficult for aid relief to enter through any crossing into Gaza.
Although Rafah is the main crossing for aid to enter Gaza, demonstrations by Israeli settlers have added to the stranglehold on life-saving supplies by blocking a road near the Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) crossing.
Karem Abu Salem reopened on Wednesday after a Hamas rocket attack.
But with the current attacks by Israel’s military, the UN says no Palestinian workers can safely reach the other side to process the goods.
“Jordan has also sent aid trucks to Gaza,” Al Jazeers’s Stefanie Dekker, reporting from the Jordanian capital Amman, said.
“Some of those have been attacked by Israeli protesters over the past few weeks. Jordan’s Foreign Ministry condemned the attacks and said it holds Israel fully responsible and that Israel should ensure aid gets in swiftly and safely to the people of Gaza.
“Those are its legal obligations as the occupying power.”
