Storyline: Israeli border inspections and delivery restrictions continue to prevent most aid from timely reaching Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, despite Israel's agreement last week to ease a total blockade on the enclave. At the Kerem Shalom crossing point, the only entrance for humanitarian aid supplies to enter Gaza, Israeli authorities allow around 100 trucks into the Strip on a daily basis. At present, the supplies permitted into the Gaza Strip mainly include flour, baby food, nutritional products, medicines, but other essential items, such as fresh food, fuel, and water purification equipment, are still restricted. Even for the supplies that have been allowed to enter, only half or less of them can be delivered to distribution centers in Gaza, with the rest remaining stranded at the point. To meet Israel's extremely strict inspection requirements, many trucks left their compartment door open so that Israeli security personnel can directly see whether the goods in the compartment conform to the description on packing list. After passing the check point, these supplies would be discharged again for additional security checks, and then be reloaded to others trucks cleared from the check point before being unloaded at the distribution centers. The strict security inspection has been criticized by the United Nations as one of the main reasons hindering aid supplies from reaching Palestinian people in Gaza.
