The Israeli occupation announced on Wednesday that 100 trucks carrying UN humanitarian aid had entered the Gaza Strip. This followed 93 trucks on Tuesday and around 10 trucks on Monday, after more than two and a half months of a stifling blockade of the war-ravaged territory.
"Today (Wednesday), 100 trucks from the United Nations and the international community carrying humanitarian aid - including flour, baby food, and medical supplies - entered the Gaza Strip via the Kerem Shalom crossing," the Israeli Defense Ministry's COGAT agency said in a statement.
The Israeli cabinet approved on Sunday the resumption of aid deliveries to Gaza, following US pressure. Israel had halted aid deliveries to Gaza since early March.
Palestinians in Gaza were still waiting for food to arrive on Wednesday, with the enclave's residents on the brink of starvation after an 11-week blockade, Reuters reported.
According to Israeli military statistics, fewer than 100 aid trucks have entered the Gaza Strip since the day before yesterday, when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government agreed to lift the blockade on the Strip's residents.
