BRUSSELS, Belgium — There is an upward trend in the number of trucks entering Gaza, but it is still below what was agreed between the European Union and Israel under a deal last month on improving humanitarian access, the bloc’s foreign policy and humanitarian arms says in a document seen by Reuters.
The UN and other partners report that 463 trucks were offloaded at crossing points to Gaza between July 29 and August 4, the document says.
