• UN spokesperson the spokesman informed the press on Friday that energy supplies, healthcare materials, and vital resources have started flowing through the Kerem Shalom border point. Representatives are urging the Israeli government to unseal further border crossings and provide protected transit for humanitarian staff and civilians who are going back to parts of Gaza that were subject to intense shelling until only recently.

Out of the 250 Palestinian prisoners, a group of 15 will be freed in East Jerusalem, one hundred to the West Bank, and 135 will be deported.
