Food, fuel allowed into Gaza
Gaza – Ma’an – Israel allowed food and humanitarian supplies into the Gaza Strip on Wednesday morning, momentarily easing its blockade of the territory.

Ra’ed Fattouh, a Palestinian border official in Gaza, reported that Israel allowed 110 trucks to cross through the Kerem Shalom crossing, including 71 designated for international organizations such as UNRWA, the UN relief agency for Palestinian refugees. A Jordanian aid organization was also allowed to ship goods.

Israel also allowed 29 trucks carrying frozen meat, diapers and toilet paper for the commercial sector and 10 trucks loaded fruits for the agricultural sector.
