Hundreds of Palestinians, mainly those requiring medical treatment and their caregivers, along with dual-national Gazans, exited the Gaza Strip yesterday, Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities (COGAT) says.
COGAT says it coordinated their exit from Gaza via the Kerem Shalom Crossing, and they headed to various countries abroad via Ramon Airport and the Allenby Bridge Crossing with Jordan.
Additionally, COGAT says nearly 430 trucks carrying humanitarian aid entered the Gaza Strip yesterday through the Kerem Shalom and Kissufim crossings.
Around 330 trucks’ worth of aid were also collected by the United Nations and other international organizations from the Gaza side of the crossings yesterday to be distributed, according to COGAT.
“The contents of hundreds of trucks are still awaiting collection on the Gazan side of the crossings,” COGAT says.
Similar amounts of aid deliveries have been reported daily in the past few months. 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 amid the war.
COGAT also says that “tankers of UN fuel entered for the operation of essential humanitarian systems” yesterday.
