More aid arrived in Gaza - 14 trucks that passed through the Rafah crossing with Egypt

At least 14 trucks laden with items for humanitarian relief entered the Strip through the Rafah crossing on Sunday, CNN reported.

These aid trucks were sponsored by the Egyptian Red Crescent and the United Nations.

An official with the Palestinian Red Crescent Society in Gaza confirmed to CNN that these trucks have been admitted and are currently being offloaded to proceed to the Gaza storage facilities of the UNRWA, the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees.

Moreover, the Palestinian Crossing Authority shared pictures of the second set of trucks getting loaded up on the Palestinian side of the crossing to complete the journey to the UNRWA site, according to CNN.

The head of public relations at the Palestinian Crossing Authority, Wael Abu Omar, said in a statement that the trucks carried “food and medicines” for Gaza.
