First aid trucks entering Gaza not checked for weapons — report
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA UN spokesperson says the first 20 trucks of humanitarian aid to enter Gaza were not checked for weapons or other contraband, the New York Times reports.
Instead, the trucks entered via an “expedited process,” in which a manifest of what they contained was submitted to the UN, Egypt and Israel, Stéphane Dujarric says. The aid was given to the Red Cross for distribution.
He says the process will not be used again, and is unsure when more trucks will be allowed to enter.
