Aid arrives in north Gaza’s Jabalia for 1st time in months

The first aid delivery in about four months has reached Gaza’s northern city of Jabalia, TRT World reports, citing local sources.

The Israeli army allowed nine trucks carrying humanitarian aid to enter northern Gaza including Jabalia, Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahiya, sources told Anadolu Agency.

The aid, which consisted of flour, rice, canned food and sugar, arrived at the Jabalia refugee camp under the auspices of the security services of the Gaza government in cooperation with Palestinian tribes.

It was placed in warehouses belonging to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees. UNRWA carried out its first regular aid distribution on Sunday in cooperation with the Gaza government’s security forces and Palestinian tribes.

Hundreds of Palestinians flocked to the distribution centre, and each family was given five kilograms of flour as part of the aid distribution.
