First aid trucks enter Gaza after almost three-month Israeli blockade, UN says
- On Monday, five aid vehicles delivering infant formula and additional essential supplies entered Gaza through the Kerem Shalom crossing, marking the first entry of such aid after nearly three months of an Israeli blockade.

- The limited aid entry followed a new wave of Israeli military operations aimed at pressuring Hamas to release hostages, while allies like the U.K., France, and Canada condemned Israel’s actions and threatened sanctions.
