Seventy trucks carrying international humanitarian aid were inspected and transferred to Gaza via the Rafah crossing today, Israel’s COGAT military liaison to the Palestinians says.

The trucks contained medical supplies, food, and water.

The figure is less than the initial goal set by the US for 100 trucks to enter Gaza each day — a goal it said it wanted to build on significantly after meeting it for the first time over the weekend.

The figures provided in the past few weeks from COGAT and from US officials have not always matched up.
