We're now seeing a statement from COGAT, a branch of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) that deals with logistical coordination between Israel and the Gaza Strip, APA reports citing BBC.
The statement says that Israel allowed 93 UN trucks carrying humanitarian aid, including flour for bakeries, food for babies, medical equipment, and pharmaceutical drugs to cross into Gaza via the Kerem Shalom crossing.
Israel says that "all aid was transferred only after a thorough security inspection by personnel from the Ministry of Defense’s Crossing Points Authority".
"The IDF will continue to facilitate humanitarian assistance in the Gaza Strip while making every effort to ensure that the aid does not reach the hands of the Hamas terrorist organisation," the statement concludes.
