On Thursday, in order to conduct talks with Palestinian officials in the territory, United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Tor Wennesland arrived in the Gaza Strip.
A local security source said that the envoy crossed into Gaza from Israel through the Erez terminal.
No information was provided about the meetings the UN envoy will hold in Gaza.
Since 2007, the Gaza Strip, which is home to 2,3 million people, has been reeling under a years-long Israeli blockade, badly affecting livelihood in the territory.
