In a weekly summary, the IDF says 1,858 trucks carrying humanitarian aid entered the Gaza Strip after being inspected by Israeli authorities.
It says the trucks — carrying food, water, medical equipment, and shelter equipment — entered Gaza via the Kerem Shalom Crossing in the Strip’s south and the Erez West Crossing in the north of the territory.
The numbers include 764 trucks from Egypt, the IDF says. Egypt had briefly halted humanitarian aid deliveries after the IDF took over the Rafah Crossing last month, before agreeing, in coordination with the United States, to resume deliveries via Kerem Shalom.
There is no mention of airdrops of aid.
