To add details

GENEVA, March 3 (Reuters) - A major border crossing into Gaza will soon reopen after being briefly closed, the United Nations World Food Programme said on Tuesday.

The program stated that humanitarian supplies would enter the sector through the Kerem Abu Salem crossing on Tuesday and Wednesday.

“It’s a good time for us; we need to provide assistance as quickly as possible,” Samer Abdel-Gaber, the program’s regional director for the Middle East, North Africa and Eastern Europe, told reporters in Geneva via video link from Cairo .

The Israeli government's Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories unit said it would reopen the crossing starting Tuesday to allow humanitarian aid to gradually enter the Gaza Strip.

The unit stated on Saturday that the crossings into Gaza were closed due to the Israeli-American attack on Iran. These crossings are vital for the delivery of humanitarian aid and the transfer of patients requiring medical evacuation.
