ISRAEL GAZA WAR

NITZANA, ISRAEL -- FEBRUARY 9, 2024: Activists from the Order 9 movement, also known as Tsav 9, look on as shipping trucks sit idly on the Egyptian side of the border crossing in Nitzana, Israel, Friday, Feb. 9, 2024. Protesters from the Order 9 movement oppose the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza where more than 80 percent of the enclaveÕs 2 million plus residents have been displaced by IsraelÕs war in Gaza, while hostages kidnapped during HamasÕs October 7 massacre remain in captivity. The demonstrators have been concentrating their efforts at checkpoints in Nitzana and Kerem Shalom with the aim of blocking aid shipments bound for Gaza, until Israeli hostages are returned alive.
