Aid Trickles Into Gaza for First Time in Weeks but UN Says It’s ‘Nowhere Near Enough’ | News Channel 3-12
- On Wednesday, more than 90 trucks delivered humanitarian aid including flour and baby supplements into Gaza for the first time in over 11 weeks.
- This delivery followed an Israeli-imposed total blockade on aid since March 2, with UN and aid officials warning the supplies remain vastly insufficient.
