Companies have gone on strike at the Karm Abu Salim crossing, the same sources said, adding that no truck has entered Israel since morning.
Goods would consequently not be imported from Israel worsening the situation in the strip.
Demonstrators say the Karni crossing closure curbs the freedom of traders and transportation companies, as the Karm Abu Salim crossing, where the load has been transferred, does not have the capacity to transport the entire region's fodder and gravel, and that the shift will raise transportation costs, which would have a negative impact on the Palestinian citizen.
The demonstrators are calling on concerned authorities to pressure Israel to reopen the Karni crossing.
