For the second consecutive day: 93 aid trucks entered Gaza

The humanitarian aid to Gaza continues: The IDF announced this evening (Tuesday) that 93 UN humanitarian aid trucks entered the Gaza Strip today through the Kerem Shalom crossing.

The IDF stated that this step was taken "following the recommendation of professional ranks in the IDF, and in accordance with the directive of the political echelon."

The trucks contain flour, baby food, medical equipment, and medications. The IDF added that "all aid was transferred after thorough security inspection by personnel from the Land Crossings Authority in the Ministry of Defense."

"The IDF will allow humanitarian response in the Gaza Strip while making maximum efforts to ensure that humanitarian aid does not reach the Hamas terrorist organization."

As mentioned, this is the second consecutive day of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip after only 9 trucks containing baby food entered yesterday.

This step is being taken after three months of a complete halt in bringing aid into Gaza. The day before yesterday, the Political-Security Cabinet decided to resume aid trucks to the Strip – despite Hamas not yet releasing the hostages.

The aid will be distributed throughout all parts of the Gaza Strip, both north of Gaza City in the Netzarim Corridor area and in the Rafah area south of the Morag Corridor. Israel currently has no way to guarantee that the trucks will not be looted by Hamas, which would profit from them and put millions of shekels in its pocket.
