•<\/span> <\/span>Due to limited capacity, opening hours and security equipment at Betunia crossing from the West Bank into Israel, a number of trucks continue to be redirected via Share Ephraim, a northern alternative to Betunia which is the most suitable crossing point for trucks loaded in Ramallah. During the reporting period (12 – 18 September), out of 14 trucks loaded in Ramallah, 9 were redirected to cross at Share Ephraim.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

•<\/span> <\/span>The Logistics Cluster is liaising with relevant authorities regarding the prioritisation of humanitarian relief cargo at Betunia in order to avoid delays and truck redirection.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

•<\/span> <\/span>A possible extensions to Kerem Shalom opening hours is also being investigated in order to allow trucks delayed at Betunia additional time to reach the crossing and avoid fees for arrival at Kerem Shalom after 13h30 to cross in the Gaza Strip<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n
