The Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) has reported that as of Monday, there are approximately 1,000 truckloads of humanitarian aid waiting on the Gaza side of the Kerem Shalom crossing. On Monday alone, 197 aid trucks were successfully transferred to Gaza through various routes including Egypt, the Ashdod port, and Israel. This marks an increase of 100 trucks compared to the previous day.
Despite the ongoing challenges, COGAT stated that since the beginning of the year, 88% of all coordination requests for aid delivery have been approved. However, United Nations agencies have highlighted the difficulties they face in distributing aid within Gaza due to Israeli military operations and the need for convoy approvals within the Strip.
