For over a week, protesters have been gathering at Israel-Egypt border crossings, including Nitzana and Kerem Shalom, in an attempt to block humanitarian aid destined for Gaza's 2.2 million residents, demanding the liberation of the remaining 136 hostages held by Hamas. Israeli police have arrested 18 protesters, with nine arrests occurring at the Kerem Shalom crossing. Critics have accused UNRWA of being infiltrated by Hamas. The protests, now in their eighth consecutive day, have seen around 100 demonstrators at the Ashdod port, where 7,500 tons of humanitarian supplies, primarily flour, are being shipped to Gaza despite the escalating humanitarian crisis that has resulted in more than 26,000 deaths according to the Gaza health ministry.
