The Defense Ministry’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) announces that 64 humanitarian aid trucks entered the Gaza Strip yesterday.

Israel resumed aid deliveries to Gaza on May 19, after a pause since March 2. Since then, 1,625 trucks have entered the Strip.

The aid underwent an inspection by Israeli authorities before entering via Zikim Crossing in the Strip’s north and Kerem Shalom Crossing in the south.
