For the first time in months, Israeli authorities allowed humanitarian aid trucks to directly enter the northern Gaza Strip yesterday.
The 56 trucks from the World Food Programme were transferred to northern Gaza via the Zikim Crossing, also known as the Erez West Crossing, the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories announces.
COGAT says the move comes following “the approval of the political echelon and on the recommendation of the security authorities.”
When Israel resumed aid deliveries to Gaza on May 19, after a pause since March 2, it only allowed trucks to enter via the Kerem Shalom crossing in the Strip’s south.
