Egypt has announced that around 120 trucks carrying humanitarian aid have entered Gaza this Sunday following an accord between Israel and Hamas for a four-day pause in the bloody fighting that began on October 7.
Trucks carrying fuel and cooking gas were headed to northern Gaza in coordination with the United Nations and the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS), Diaa Rashwan, the head of Egypt's government press office, said in a statement. that the number of aid trucks is likely to increase in the coming hours.
On the other hand, the PRCS said in a statement that an aid convoy of 100 trucks was sent to Gaza City and the northern areas of the strip, carrying food, water, relief items, first aid supplies and medicine.
" Dozens of trucks that entered the crossing on Saturday were still being processed through the Israeli checkpoint as of Sunday afternoon local time, or they were still unloading on the Gaza side of the border crossing," an Egyptian border official told CNN . . He added that about 129,000 liters of oil and 80,000 liters of gas passed through the Rafah border crossing from the Egyptian side of the border.
While Sunday's Hamas hostage exchange for Palestinian prisoners and detainees has already ended, Saturday's exchange was delayed by Hamas over a dispute that centered largely on the issue of aid to Gaza.
Hamas said Israel was not keeping the terms of its agreement to deliver aid to the besieged enclave, saying "less than half" of the expected aid trucks had entered northern Gaza.
