More than 160 aid trucks entered Gaza on Monday, Israeli authorities say

At least 163 trucks carrying food, water, medical and shelter supplies entered Gaza from the Rafah and Kerem Shalom crossings on Monday, CNN reports quoting Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT).

The number of trucks aligns with the daily average observed over the previous weeks.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) warned last week that the volume of aid entering the ravaged Palestinian enclave “remains woefully inadequate.”

Palestinians displaced inside the strip, who spoke to CNN, have described cramped living conditions, sky-high prices for food, children going hungry and poor sanitation.
