JERUSALEM – The first trucks carrying food aid entered Gaza through the newly opened northern crossing point on April 11, the military said on April 12, as Israel stepped up supplies following mounting pressure to ease the humanitarian crisis in the enclave.
It said the trucks were inspected at the Kerem Shalom crossing point on the border with Egypt before moving north to cross.
Israel said earlier in April it would reopen the Erez crossing point that had been closed since the start of the war with Hamas last October. REUTERS
