The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza has announced that “trucks carrying medical supplies and vaccinations for children” are scheduled to arrive at hospitals in Gaza later today, according to Al Jazeera.

It said the shipment was being facilitated “through the World Health Organisation and Unicef” and “they do not contain any food items”.

“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,” the ministry said in a statement.

It called on all “concerned parties” to “make every effort to protect the convoy” and “enable their safe arrival to hospitals”.
