Some 300 trucks carrying humanitarian aid entered the Gaza Strip yesterday through the Kerem Shalom and Zikim crossings, Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) says.
According to COGAT, over 270 trucks worth of aid were collected by the United Nations and other international organizations from the Gaza side of the crossings yesterday to be distributed.
“Additionally, tankers of UN fuel entered for the operation of essential humanitarian systems,” COGAT adds.
The UN has said 600 trucks of aid need to be distributed each day in order to properly feed the Strip’s roughly two million people.
