The Defense Ministry’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) announces that 100 trucks carrying humanitarian aid entered the Gaza Strip today.
Israel resumed aid deliveries to Gaza on Monday, after a pause since March 2.
COGAT says the aid delivery comes “following the recommendation of professional IDF officials and in accordance with the directive of the political echelon.”
Today’s trucks contained flour, baby food and medical equipment, COGAT says.
The aid underwent an inspection first by Israeli authorities before entering Gaza via the Kerem Shalom Crossing.
Despite the COGAT announcements, UN agencies say they have been unable to pick up any of the aid that has entered since the blockade was lifted this week, explaining that Israeli authorities have refused to coordinate on the matter.
COGAT has yet to respond to UN allegations on the matter for nearly two days.
