Israel has reopened a main crossing with the Gaza Strip, allowing thousands of Palestinian laborers to enter the country for the first time since sealing it last week.
FILE - Palestinian workers enter Israel after crossing from Gaza on the Israeli side of Erez crossing between Israel and the Gaza Strip, on March 27, 2022. Israel reopened a main crossing with the Gaza Strip on Thursday, Sept. 28, 2023 allowing thousands of Palestinian laborers to enter the country for the first time since sealing it last week.
Cogat, the Israeli defense body that deals with Palestinian civilian affairs, said late Wednesday that the crossing would reopen and said such measures could continue if calm was maintained. Early Thursday, workers thronged the crossing before being let through, with some resting on patches of grass as they waited to cross.
Israel says the blockade is needed to prevent Hamas from arming itself. But the closure has choked off Gaza's economy and made life increasingly difficult for the more than 2 million people who live there.
