Egypt’s state-run media reported earlier today that 17 aid trucks were crossing into Gaza, but the United Nations says no trucks have crossed.
“Until now, there is no convoy,” says Juliette Touma, spokeswoman for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees.
Yesterday, 20 trucks entered in the first shipment into the territory since the start of Israel-Hamas war.
Associated Press journalists saw seven fuel trucks head into Gaza, but Touma and the IDF said that those trucks were taking fuel that had been stored on the Gaza side of the crossing deeper into the territory, and that no fuel had entered from Egypt.
