Egypt started Tuesday to use the Karm Abu Salem border crossing for processing aid to speed up its delivery through the Rafah border crossing to Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.
“Since yesterday, the passage of humanitarian and relief aid trucks — [awaiting in] Egypt — can now be processed at the Karm Abu Salem border crossing with Gaza/Israel on their way to be delivered through the Rafah border crossing to the strip under an agreement made with the Israeli side,” Diaa Rashwan, Head of the Egyptian State Information Service, stated on Wednesday.
“This is in addition to the Al-Ouga crossing, as has been the case,” Rashwan added.
Some of the crucial details of Israel’s narrative claiming Hamas committed mass atrocities on 7 October were simply false and a result of Israel’s desire to obtain public and international support for violent retaliation against Gaza, according to an investigation conducted by the French newspaper Libération.
The newspaper’s investigation published on 12 December stated: “No heads were cut off, no children were placed in ovens, no pregnant women’s stomachs were cut open, and no children’s hands were tied behind their backs,” but pointed out that “only one infant was killed out of 40 minors killed in the attack.
