MagyarThey do not send aid to the Gaza Zone for the time being
Starting convoy is considered dangerous!
There were conflicting reports from various media sources and the United Nations on whether humanitarian aid entered Gaza on Sunday.
Egypt’s state-run media reported that 17 aid trucks were crossing into Gaza on Sunday - but the United Nations said no trucks had crossed.
“Until now, there is no convoy,” said Juliette Touma, spokeswoman for UN agency for Palestinian refugees.
On Saturday, 20 trucks entered in the first shipment into the territory since Israel imposed a complete siege two weeks ago.
Associated Press journalists saw seven fuel trucks head into Gaza, but Touma and the Israeli military said those trucks were taking fuel that had been stored on the Gaza side of the crossing deeper into the territory and that no fuel had entered from Egypt.
Then on Sunday evening, Israeli media sources quoted Israel's military liaison to the Palestinians as saying that humanitarian aid did enter the Gaza Strip via Egypt at the request of US President Joe Biden.
“At the request of the American administration and in accordance with the instructions of the political echelon, humanitarian aid from the United Nations containing only water, food, and medical equipment was brought into the southern Gaza Strip today, through the Rafah crossing in Egypt,” the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) said in a statement.
