Humanitarian aid trucks began entering Gaza on Sunday as the truce between Israel and Hamas took effect, the United Nations confirmed. Jonathan Whittall, interim chief of the UN's OCHA for Palestinian territories, stated that "a massive effort" was made to prepare aid distribution across Gaza. According to an Egyptian source, 197 trucks carrying supplies and 5 fuel trucks crossed via Kerem Shalom between Israel and Gaza and al-Oga-Nitzana between Egypt and Israel. The shipments mark a critical step in delivering relief to the region amid the ongoing crisis. Details on the exact distribution remain undisclosed.
