Shipments of goods sent to Gaza are first searched in Israel to ensure that they do not contain anything that could be used by Hamas for making weapons.

The border crossing was closed to the public after Israeli protestors tried to stop the shipments in protest over not making the release of more hostages a requirement for the continued aid shipments. (ANI/TPS)
