200 aid trucks enter Gaza Strip via Rafah border crossing

GAZA CITY, Palestine

Seven additional trucks with fuel and cooking gas entered the Gaza Strip on Wednesday through the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, a Palestinian official told Anadolu.

They were part of a batch of aid consisting of 200 relief trucks that brought the number of trucks to 1,200 that have entered the enclave since the start of a temporary humanitarian pause.

Wael Abu Mohsen, the media director on the Palestinian side of the crossing, said: “The aid includes four trucks loaded with gas, three trucks carrying fuel containing a total of 150,000 liters of diesel, along with trucks delivering water, food supplies, and medical supplies.”

Since the initiation of a humanitarian cease-fire, a total of 1,000 aid trucks have effectively entered Gaza, with a consistent daily entry of 200 trucks, encompassing seven trucks specifically designated for fuel and cooking gas, according to an Anadolu correspondent.
