87 aid trucks arrive in Gaza

87 aid trucks, which were allocated to international and local organizations to meet “urgent humanitarian needs”, have arrived in Gaza for the first time in 81 days, the Government Media Office in Gaza reported on Thursday, stressing that Gaza requires the daily entry of at least 500 aid trucks and 50 fuel trucks to sustain its vital and medical infrastructure.

Jens Laerke, spokesperson for the UN Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), said the trucks that entered carried medicine, wheat flour and nutrition supplies. “Aid groups face significant challenges distributing the aid because of insecurity, the risk of looting and coordination issues with Israeli authorities,” Jens Laerke added.
