Two hundred trucks carrying humanitarian aid enter the Gaza Strip, with some of the supplies heading for the northern part of the enclave
The trucks were checked by Israeli authorities at the Nitzana crossing with Egypt, before heading to Egypt’s Rafah crossing to enter Gaza. Dozens of the trucks and six ambulances are heading for the northern Gaza Strip, including to areas that have not been evacuated, with the approval of Israel, says the Coordinator for Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT).
Ahead of launching its ground operation, the Israel Defense Forces told Palestinian civilians to use humanitarian corridors to evacuate southwards to designated safe areas in the enclave.
The aid — including food, water, and medical supplies — is entering the Strip as part of the temporary truce between Israel and the Hamas terror group, mediated by Egypt and Qatar. As part of the agreement, some 50 children and women held hostage in Gaza are being released, along with three Palestinian prisoners for every Israeli set free.
