International protests
There have been widespread international protests that have mainly called for a ceasefire. Meanwhile, on Wednesday, Israel reopened the sole crossing on the northern edge of the Gaza Strip, allowing aid trucks to pass through the Erez checkpoint following U.S. demands to do more to address the growing humanitarian crisis.
For months, reopening the Erez crossing has been one of the main appeals of international aid agencies, to relieve hunger which is believed to be most extreme among the hundreds of thousands of civilians in the enclave’s northern sector.
