The Defense Ministry’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) announces that 76 trucks carrying humanitarian aid entered the Gaza Strip today.
Israel resumed aid deliveries to Gaza on May 19, after a pause since March 2.
Since then, 952 trucks of aid have entered the Strip.
Some of the truckloads have been taken to the new aid distribution sites run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. The contents of many of the trucks are still awaiting collection on the Gaza side of the Kerem Shalom crossing.
COGAT says the aid delivery comes “following the recommendation of professional IDF officials and in accordance with the directive of the political echelon.”
Today’s trucks include flour and food, COGAT says.
The aid underwent an inspection first by Israeli authorities before entering Gaza via the Kerem Shalom crossing.
