The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said on Tuesday that it had received approval from Israel to allow approximately 100 aid trucks into the Gaza Strip.
At a press conference in Geneva, OCHA spokesperson Jens Laerke said: "We requested approval to allow more trucks to enter today, and we received approval. This is significantly more than the number of trucks allowed to enter yesterday (Monday)."
He added, "We naturally expect, with this approval, that many of these trucks will be able to cross today to points where they can be received and then head deeper into Gaza for distribution."
When asked about the exact number of aid trucks, the UN spokesman said the figure was "about 100 trucks."
