Demonstrators, including families of hostages still held in Gaza, waved Israeli flags at a key crossing and chanted against "aiding the enemy".

The protesters say they are demanding no aid for Gaza until all of the hostages are released.

This comes despite a US demand that aid to civilians in Gaza be allowed to enter "without interruption".

For a third consecutive day, the protesters descended on the Kerem Shalom border crossing between Israel and Gaza to try to block humanitarian aid from entering the enclave.
