The UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) said it had delivered food into Gaza through the Israeli Kerem Shalom border crossing in the first direct aid convoy from Jordan, AFP reports.
The arrival of the 46-truck convoy came after “weeks of coordination with all parties”, the WFP said, adding that it was a “crucial first step (that) could pave the way for a more sustainable aid corridor through Jordan and allow for the delivery of more aid at scale”.
