WASHINGTON – The White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Washington is still worried about the consequences of the Israeli operation in Rafah on aid delivery into Gaza, according to a press release issued by the White House.
“We remain concerned about ongoing limited operations at the Rafah [border] crossing and also the Erez crossing — I know I just mentioned that’s a new crossing, but we want to get more in — as well as the ability of humanitarian partners to move within Gaza to deliver assistance and fuel to the vulnerable people who need it,” Jean-Pierre said.
“Since April 5th, more than 7,000 trucks have been moved into Gaza. So, that is an update. Yesterday, nearly 250 trucks moved into Gaza, both via Kerem Shalom — so, that is open, so that is important, as you all know, in southern Gaza — and a new crossing, Erez West, in northern Gaza,” the press secretary added.
