Gaza’s health ministry has said that trucks carrying medicines and medical supplies are scheduled to enter Gaza today through the World Health Organisation, Al Jazeera reports.

“The items expected to arrive are of great importance and urgent need to continue providing medical care to the wounded and sick and save lives,” it said on Telegram.

They do not contain any food items, it added, calling on people “to make every effort to protect the convoy, to prevent any interference with the trucks and to enable their safe arrival to hospitals to save the lives of the sick and wounded”.
