First Turkish aid truck enters Gaza
The first truck hauling humanitarian aid from Turkey to the Gaza Strip since the signing of a reconciliation agreement between Jerusalem and Ankara arrives at the Kerem Shalom crossing in southern Israel, according to the Defense Ministry.
The first shipment includes teddy bears and diapers for children in Gaza. It will be followed by trucks bearing thousands of kilograms of food and other necessities to the Strip.
The shipment arrived yesterday at the Ashdod Port and will enter the coastal enclave shortly, the ministry says.
