This is one of the highest figures of trucks entering the Strip in recent weeks.
Israel has faced criticism that it is not allowing enough humanitarian aid into Gaza, while Jerusalem has accused the United Nations of failing to match its pace in transport and distribution and holding up aid deliveries.
