As part of a recent ceasefire agreement, there were plans to reopen crossings using the same protocol that was in effect during a temporary ceasefire earlier this year. At that time, the crossings were briefly opened to facilitate medical evacuations.

“We depend on all crossings to deliver our aid. We are advocating for all these crossings to remain open and to have fully unrestricted access,” a spokesperson emphasized.

Hayman, a graffiti artist from Haifa, tragically lost her life at the Nova music festival at the age of 27. Her remains were subsequently taken to Gaza.

In a significant development, Hamas transferred the remains of more Israeli hostages to the Red Cross, which then facilitated their return to Israel.

Al-Atrash, a 39-year-old soldier of Bedouin descent, was killed in action on October 7. Like Hayman, his body was also taken to Gaza.
