Israel’s COGAT military liaison to the Palestinians says that 218 trucks carrying humanitarian aid were inspected and transferred to the Gaza Strip today, with 99 going through Egypt’s Rafah Crossing and 119 entering via Israel’s Kerem Shalom.
Seventy percent of the aid consisted of food and the rest was made up of water, medical supplies and shelter equipment.
UN aid agencies say the ongoing IDF offensive severely hampers efforts to distribute the aid and that hundreds of thousands of Gazans are suffering from a lack of food.
