The Defense Ministry’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) announces that 107 trucks carrying humanitarian aid entered the Gaza Strip today.

Israel resumed daily aid deliveries to Gaza on May 19, after a pause since March 2. Since then, 495 trucks of aid have entered the Strip.

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 include flour and food, COGAT says.

The aid underwent an inspection by Israeli authorities before entering Gaza via the Kerem Shalom crossing.

Aid groups have faced significant challenges distributing the aid because of insecurity, the risk of looting, and coordination issues with Israeli authorities, UN officials say.
