The Israeli military says 11 trucks of humanitarian aid were delivered to northern Gaza’s Jabalia and Beit Hanoun on Thursday, where several thousand Palestinians are estimated to still be.
The IDF says it has been working to evacuate the civilian population from towns north of Gaza City, in order to operate against Hamas there without harming innocents. Several hundred are estimated to remain in Jabalia, and several thousands more in other towns in the area.
In a joint statement, the IDF and the Defense Ministry’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories say that the 11 trucks of food, water, and medical equipment were delivered to distribution centers for the remaining population in Jabalia and Beit Hanoun, “in accordance with a directive of the political echelon, and as part of the commitment to transfer humanitarian aid to the northern Gaza Strip.”
Additional aid is entering other areas of northern Gaza, including Gaza City. COGAT says that since the beginning of October, 713 aid trucks entered northern Gaza via the Erez West Crossing.
