Gaza: Israeli occupation forces allowed the entry of 91 out of 100 UN and international aid trucks into Gaza through the Kerem Abu-Salem border crossing on Thursday, following a two-and-a-half-month blockade that led to famine and increased suffering among Palestinians.
According to Kuwait News Agency, the occupation forces had initially agreed to allow 100 trucks but permitted only 91 to enter. Nahedh Shehaiber, Chairman of the Special Transport Association, highlighted this discrepancy in a press release. The aid convoy included five trucks from UAE's Gallant Knight 3 Foundation carrying basic food supplies, 18 UNICEF trucks with nutritional supplements for children, 60 trucks filled with flour, seven World Food Programme trucks containing nutritional supplements, and one International Committee of the Red Cross truck with medicine. Shehaiber emphasized the necessity of exerting pressure on the occupation forces to ensure the transfer of essential food supplies and flour to northern Gaza.
This marks the first instance of truck entry since early March, following international pressure that compelled the occupation forces to permit aid into Gaza.
