The COGAT military liaison to the Palestinians says that 202 trucks carrying humanitarian aid entered Gaza today after inspection by Israel.
Seventy-five percent of the trucks carried food, the rest carried water, medical supplies and shelter equipment, COGAT says
“There is no limit to the amount of humanitarian aid that can enter the Gaza Strip,” COGAT adds.
The UN says Israeli limits on fuel and targeting of areas where storage warehouses are located have severely inhibited its efforts to deliver aid.
Israel says it is inspecting hundreds of trucks a day and that the UN has simply been unable to keep up with the pace.
