COGAT: Crossings into northern Gaza: In order to maximize aid going into Gaza in general and to northern Gaza in particular, we've opened two crossings: Erez East and Erez West. Every day, one of these crossings is open to ensure a continuous flow of aid into northern Gaza. These two interchangeable crossings maintain operational flexibility and the flow of humanitarian aid.
