Yesterday, 71 humanitarian aid trucks entered the Gaza Strip, the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) announces.

Israel resumed aid deliveries to Gaza on May 19, after a pause since March 2. Since then, 2,104 trucks have entered the Strip.

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

The UN has said 600 trucks of aid need to be distributed each day in order to properly feed the Strip’s roughly two million people.
