Israel Supporting Gaza Rehabilitation
(CNN) Oren Liebermann - Col. Grisha Yakubovich, Israel's Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, said in an interview: "Israel is supporting Gaza rehabilitation, and there are more than 1 million tons of building materials that are already in Gaza....83,000 people already got their building materials." "[The] Kerem Shalom crossing point is a major crossing where an average of 600 trucks are actually bringing goods into Gaza. The capabilities of this crossing are already adapted to 800 trucks per day and it will be ready to deal with 1,000 trucks per day quite soon. Almost 5,000 people got permits that allow them to go out of Gaza and trade with Israelis or with the West Bank." "Unfortunately, Hamas is using some of those building materials. They are buying them from the black market inside Gaza - to build new tunnels, to use those building materials for their terror abilities."
