    Humanitarian aid includes food, medicines and medical equipment, tools and materials for esssential humanitarian infrastructures, and a certain amount of diesel fuel. Cement, sand, gravel and steel are not considered to be humanitarian aid.

    Via the conveyor at the Karni Crossing, hundreds of tons of grain - wheat, barley, soy beans, corn, sesame seeds and animal feed - are transferred from Israel to the Gaza Strip every week.

    Via the Kerem Shalom and/or Sufa Crossing, the following supplies are transferred by truck from Israel to the Gaza Strip: food, including: baby formula and food, rice and legumes, fruits and vegetables, meat, chicken and fish, dairy products, flour and yeast, oil, salt and sugar; hygiene products; tools and raw materials for essential infrastructures; medicines and medical equipment; and a myriad of other items - ranging from school books to wheel chairs - needed by the civilian population.

    The Kerem Shalom Crossing, the main crossing point for humanitarian goods since June 2007, was closed after it was attacked by  terrorists on 19 April 2008. It reopened on August 18, after extensive repairs were completed.

    Via the Nahal Oz fuel depot, diesel fuel for transportation and for the local Gaza power station, petrol, and gas for cooking and heating are transferred from Israel to the Gaza Strip, according to an assessment of civilian needs mandated by the Israeli court (weekly supply: petrol - 75,400 liters; diesel fuel for transportation - 800,000 liters; diesel fuel for power station - 2,200,000 liters;  cooking and heating gas according to demand).

    Two-way traffic at the Erez Crossing of international organizations' staff, Gaza residents seeking medical treatment together with the people accompanying them ("medical evacuations"), and Palestinian civilians  has been permitted for humanitarian reasons since 18 January 2007 and occurs daily.

    On June 19, an understanding to establish a "state of calm" in the Gaza Strip and the Israeli territory adjacent to it went into effect. 

    The opening of the crossings and the amounts of goods allowed to pass through them will be conditional on Palestinian adherence to the calm agreement.

    The crossings are usually closed on Fridays and Saturdays (the Sabbath) and on Jewish holidays.
