How much of a difference will crossing opening make?
This decision [to open a second crossing] is being framed as a way to complete Israel’s war aims.
The [Beit Hanoon] Erez is the crossing in the north, and Ashdod is an Israeli port further north. Aid is going to come through the Ashdod port and then through the Erez crossing into northern Gaza – the first part of Gaza devastated by Israel in its assault on the strip.
How much difference will it make? This is in the hands of the Israelis and how much aid they will let through it.
Any increase will be a benefit to the starving people of Gaza as what has entered so far has not even begun to meet people’s needs.
