At least 33 trucks carrying water, food and medical supplies entered Gaza through the Rafah crossing with Egypt on Sunday, the United Nation’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said.
The UN humanitarian office said early on Monday morning that the aid convoy was the largest since October 21, when the first trucks carrying vital aid entered the besieged enclave.
Israel ordered a complete siege of the region to root out Hamas militants, considered a terror group by the EU, the US and others, following the militants’ terror attack on Israeli soil on October 7.
“Our teams in Gaza received 24 trucks from the Egyptian Red Crescent through the Rafah crossing this evening, containing food supplies and medical necessities,” the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said.
The organization said it had received 118 trucks containing food and medical supplies in total. But trucks containing fuel are still not allowed to cross into Gaza, the PRCS added.
