Africa Muslim Agency South Africa hopes to take humanitarian aid to Gaza through Israeli crossing
Desperately needed humanitarian aid may start moving into Gaza, through an Israeli crossing- for the first time since the October the seventh attack by Hamas. The Israeli Prime Minister's office yesterday announced that this would be permitted via the Kerem Shalom crossing- near the border with Egypt. Trucks laden with aid from the Africa Muslim Agency South Africa are also hoping to make the crossing. This comes as the U.N. refugee agency on Friday said that a new refugee crisis from Gaza must be prevented, referring to the possibility that hundreds of thousands of people already uprooted by the Israel-Hamas conflict could flee into Egypt.
JIHAN KAISI is the Africa Muslim Agency coordinator based in Lebanon and also a UN representative for Middle-Eastern refugees. She spoke to Bongiwe Zwane from Cairo.
