Aid trucks started entering the Gaza Strip on Sunday through Karem Abu Salem commercial crossing, for the first time since the start of the Israeli ground attack on the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, on May 6.
The aid trucks set off from the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing, along the border with the Gaza enclave, arriving at Karem Abu Salem crossing, before entering the enclave, Palestinian News Agency (Wafa) reported.
WAFA added that the trucks would be delivered to the United Nations and would then set off from the Palestinian-Egyptian border bound for Tel Al-Sultan neighborhood west of Rafah city, to be ultimately sent to the depth of the Gaza Strip through Al-Rashid coastal street.
Wafa explained that the expected number of trucks that are set to enter Gaza reaches 200, with each one carrying between 15 to 20 tons of aid, including 4 trucks carrying fuel.
