Israel allows more than 300 aid lorries into Gaza
ISRAEL permitted 322 aid lorries to enter Gaza today as Palestinians in the territory continue to starve.
Though the delivery is the largest per day since Israel’s invasion began six months ago, it falls well short of what the United Nations says will be necessary to fend off the escalating humanitarian crisis in the devastated territory, and comes as international pressure over its handling of the war continues to grow.
In a statement on X (formerly Twitter), Israel’s co-ordinator of government activities in the Territories said 228 of the lorries — 77 per cent of the convoy — were carrying food.
