Seeking to permit the influx of humanitarian supplies, Israel has opened the Kerem Shalom and Karni Crossings to Hamas-controller Gaza. Some 155 trucks are expected to deliver supplies via the crossing points.

Arab media agencies report that electricity generators in Gaza were shut down due to an insufficient supply of fuel.

Israel continues to deny reports of a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, insisting there is a constant flow of necessary supplies and humanitarian assistance.
