About 400 humanitarian aid trucks carrying food, medical supplies and fuel are expected to enter southern Gaza on Sunday, Egyptian state-affiliated Al-Qahera News reported.
A video by the broadcaster shows many trucks in Egypt’s border city of Rafah moving toward Gaza around 6 a.m. local time (11 p.m. ET, Saturday).
They will access the besieged enclave directly through the Kerem Shalom crossing, as well via the Nitzana crossing into Israel, according to the report.
As part of the Gaza ceasefire agreement reached this week, Israel agreed to the daily entry of 600 humanitarian aid trucks operated by the UN and other donors.
On Thursday, UN relief chief Tom Fletcher reiterated that more aid trucks should enter the enclave.
“We’ve been delivering probably less than 20 per cent a day of what we should be getting in,” he said.
