Jordan announces that a Jordanian charity organization dispatched 50 aid trucks to the Gaza Strip this morning.

According to the official Jordanian news agency, the trucks are carrying food supplies, primarily flour.

Footage shared on social media shows the trucks traveling overland from Jordan, through Israel, en route to Gaza.

It remains unclear whether they have entered the Strip.

Late last week, the European Union announced that a deal had been reached enabling the reopening of several aid corridors, including humanitarian routes through Egypt and Jordan, and several other crossing points in northern and southern Gaza.
