Correct Answer: A. Kerem Shalom border crossing
Kerem Shalom border crossing is a border crossing at the junction of two border sections: one between the Gaza Strip and Israel, and one between the Gaza Strip and Egypt. It is used by trucks carrying goods from Israel or Egypt to the Gaza Strip. After weeks of pressure, Israel on 15 December 2023 approved the temporary delivery of aid into Gaza via its Kerem Shalom border crossing. The opening would allow Israel to maintain its commitments to permit the entry of 200 trucks of aid per day, while Rafah could only handle half of that traffic.
