Israel has significantly increased humanitarian aid to Gaza, transferring hundreds of aid trucks in recent days. On April 30, 351 aid trucks were sent, including 86 from the private sector and 21 from the World Food Programme (WFP), followed by 406 trucks on May 1. Additionally, 211 pallets of meals were airdropped over northern Gaza. Concurrently, the US pressured Israel to open the Erez crossing, which had been closed for six months, allowing aid to reach Jabalia in northern Gaza. However, reports indicate that Hamas seized the first aid shipment that passed through the newly reopened crossing.
Israel opened a border crossing on the northern edge of Gaza and trucks with aid supplies were allowed to pass through the checkpoint. The move came after Washington demanded that Israel do more to address the worsening humanitarian crisis https://t.co/mUZHy9kKeV
