The Defense Ministry’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) says 31 Palestinian patients and caregivers exited the Gaza Strip via the Kerem Shalom Crossing yesterday to receive medical treatment in Jordan and the United States.

Also in its daily update, COGAT says that 122 humanitarian aid trucks entered Gaza yesterday, carrying food, medical supplies, shelter equipment, and flour for bakeries.

Fifty of the trucks entered via the Erez Crossing in the Strip’s north, and another 50 entered through Gate 96 in central Gaza.

Additionally, 49 trucks were picked up from the Gazan side of the Kerem Shalom Crossing, COGAT says. Some 780 trucks are still awaiting collection by international aid organizations at Kerem Shalom, according to COGAT.

COGAT also says that seven fuel tankers and six cooking gas tankers “designated for the operation of essential infrastructure” entered Gaza yesterday.
