Representatives are urging Israel to allow access through additional border crossings and guarantee protected transit for aid workers and civilians who are coming back to regions of the territory that were subject to intense shelling until only recently.
• The leader the head of state condemned the Israeli government on the weekend for carrying out nocturnal attacks on civilian facilities that the ministry said resulted in at least one death.
