Israel says will allow 'temporary' aid through northern Gaza border

Israel will allow "temporary" aid deliveries via its border with the northern Gaza Strip, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office announced Friday, hours after a warning from US President Joe Biden. "Israel will allow the temporary delivery of humanitarian aid through Ashdod and the Erez checkpoint," the statement from the prime minister's office said, referring to a port about 40 kilometres (25 miles) north of Gaza and a land crossing.
