187 trucks carrying food, water, medical supplies and shelter equipment were inspected and transferred to the Gaza Strip today via Egypt’s Rafah and Israel’s Kerem Shalom Crossings, Israel’s COGAT military liaison to the Palestinians says.
Eighty-eight trucks were inspected at Israel’s Nitzana Crossing and entered Gaza via the Rafah Crossing.
Ninety-seven trucks were inspected and transferred into Gaza via the Kerem Shalom Crossing.
Israel committed during a truce in November to start allowing in 200 trucks of aid every day.
It says it has been inspecting hundreds of trucks each day but that the UN and Egypt have failed to keep up with those numbers, leading to insufficient amounts of aid actually getting into Gaza.
The UN says distribution of large amounts of aid is all but impossible as long as Israel’s military campaign continues.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
