An Israeli official says a shipment of flour, baby food and medical supplies will be allowed into Gaza.
Eden Bar Tal, the Foreign Ministry’s director general, says the baby food has started entering, but there was no sign of any aid on the Gaza side of the border. He does not say how much aid will enter, where it will enter or when.
“Today, Israel is facilitating the entry of trucks with baby food into Gaza,” Bar Tal tells reporters, adding that “in the coming days, Israel will facilitate the entry of dozens of aid trucks.”
