Nearly 280 trucks carrying humanitarian aid entered the Gaza Strip yesterday through the Kerem Shalom and Zikim crossings, Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities (COGAT) says.
According to COGAT, around 400 trucks’ worth of aid were collected by the United Nations and other international organizations from the Gaza sides of the crossings yesterday to be distributed, though a backlog remains.
“The contents of hundreds of trucks are still awaiting collection on the Gazan side of the crossings,” COGAT says.
Deliveries of similar amounts of aid have been reported daily in the past few weeks.
The UN has said 600 trucks of aid need to be distributed each day in order to properly feed the Strip’s roughly two million people amid the war.
COGAT also says that “tankers of UN fuel entered for the operation of essential humanitarian systems” yesterday, and that it coordinated the entry and exit of humanitarian aid workers rotating in and out of Gaza.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
