Trucks Deliver Humanitarian Aid to Gaza Following Ceasefire
GENEVA: Following the start of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, trucks delivering much-needed humanitarian aid began to enter Gaza on Sunday, according to the United Nations.
UN aid official Jonathan Whittall, who temporarily oversees the UN’s OCHA agency for Palestinian territories, shared on social media that the first trucks carrying supplies arrived just minutes after the truce began on Sunday morning. He noted that a significant effort had been made in the days leading up to this moment to prepare and distribute a large quantity of aid across Gaza.
Despite the UN not specifying the exact locations for the aid entry, a source from Egypt, who requested to remain unnamed, disclosed that 197 trucks carrying aid and five fuel trucks crossed through the Kerem Shalom crossing between Israel and Gaza, as well as the al-Oga and Nitzana crossings between Egypt and Israel.
