Israel has said 93 UN aid trucks have entered Gaza, a day after the UN announced it had been cleared to send supplies for the first time since Israel imposed a total blockade on March 2, AFP reports.

COGAT, the Israeli defence ministry body that oversees civil affairs in the Palestinian territories, said that “93 UN trucks carrying humanitarian aid, including flour for bakeries, food for babies, medical equipment, and pharmaceutical drugs were transferred today via the Kerem Shalom Crossing into the Gaza Strip.”
