On a certain date, the Israel Defense Forces and the Government Company for the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) issued a joint announcement stating that, in accordance with the directives of the Israeli government, the Kerem Shalom Crossing in the Gaza Strip has been opened to increase the quantity and channels of aid supplies provided to the Gaza Strip.

Supplies, including food, water, medical supplies, and shelter equipment, will be transported through this port to central and southern Gaza. The statement emphasizes that these aid materials can only enter the Gaza Strip after undergoing security inspections by the Israeli Ministry of Defense's Border Authority at the Kerem Shalom crossing.

Kissufim Crossing, located in the southern Gaza Strip near the border with Israel, was once a major passage connecting Israel with central and southern Gaza, and was closed on a specific date.
