Israel Says 93 UN Aid Trucks Entered Gaza on Tuesday
- On Tuesday, Israel permitted 93 UN trucks carrying humanitarian supplies—including bakery flour, infant nutrition, medical supplies, and medications—to enter Gaza through the Kerem Shalom Crossing after an 11-week blockade.
- This partial resumption followed Prime Minister Netanyahu's May 18 announcement to permit limited aid supply amid ongoing military operations against Hamas since October 7, 2023.
- Aid deliveries resumed under a new distribution plan developed with the US, involving logistics hubs in Gaza to reduce Hamas interference and direct supply to civilians.
- UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher described the Monday aid as "a drop in the ocean of what is urgently needed," while his earlier claim of 14,000 babies dying in 48 hours was later corrected by the UN.
- International criticism persists over the limited aid and blockade, with some agencies refusing the Israeli plan citing impartiality concerns, and European countries pressuring for more extensive humanitarian access.
