AFP – Trucks carrying humanitarian aid entered Gaza yesterday after a truce between Israel and Hamas went into effect, the United Nations (UN) said.
“First trucks of supplies started entering” minutes after the ceasefire took effect yesterday morning, UN aid official Interim Chief of the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs aid agency for the Palestinian territories Jonathan Whittall said on X.
“A massive effort has been underway over the past days from humanitarian partners to load and prepare to distribute a surge of aid across all of Gaza.”
The UN did not give details on where the shipments entered Gaza, but an Egyptian source speaking said that “197 trucks of aid and five of fuel entered through the crossing of Kerem Shalom between Israel and Gaza and that of al-Oga” and Nitzana between Egypt and Israel.
