Netanyahu says construction of first aid distribution zones in Gaza to be complete in coming days

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that construction of the first humanitarian aid distribution zones in Gaza will be complete in the coming days, after Israel allowed 100 trucks carrying baby food and medical equipment into the enclave on Wednesday, Reuters reports.

“Ultimately, we intend to have large safe zones in the south of Gaza. The Palestinian population will move there for their own safety, while we conduct combat in other zones,” Netanyahu added in a video statement released by his office.
