UN Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA) chief Philippe Lazzarini said Thursday that Israeli authorities are prioritising the private commercial sector at the main crossing point for goods entering Gaza.
“When it comes to the crossing in Kerem Shalom, the private sector for the time being is being prioritised,” Lazzarini told AFP, adding that the development had occurred over the past two weeks.
He said the prioritisation took place at the inspections level, with private sector trucks inspected “before any other trucks”.
