Inspection Routes for Humanitarian Aid Trucks Open in Judea and Samaria for the First Time

This week, the IDF, via the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), is continuing efforts to facilitate the transfer of hundreds of humanitarian aid trucks containing food, water, medical equipment and shelter equipment for the residents of Gaza. Accordingly, today (Thursday), 365 humanitarian aid trucks entered Gaza through the Kerem Shalom Crossing operated by the Ministry of Defense’s Land Crossings Authority, as well as the Erez Crossing, following thorough security checks.

Throughout the day, about 38 trucks of flour were transferred alongside 76,000 liters of fuel that were transferred yesterday for the World Food Program (WFP) organization to provide supplies to the organization’s bakery operating throughout Gaza. In addition, today, 17 Jordanian trucks containing humanitarian aid were transferred to Gaza as part of the hundreds of trucks that were transferred. Last Sunday, hundreds of tents purchased by the State of Israel and intended for the Humanitarian Area in Al-Mawasi were brought in through the Kerem Shalom Crossing as part of plans for the civilian population temporarily evacuating from the Rafah area to the humanitarian areas.

Furthermore, in accordance with the government of Israel's directive and in coordination with the U.S. administration, on Monday this week, the Tarqumiyah and Beitunia crossings in Judea and Samaria were opened for the first time since the beginning of the war in order to expand the inspection routes of humanitarian aid trucks going to Gaza, as part of efforts to increase the rate of inspection of aid.

The IDF will continue its efforts to allow humanitarian aid to enter Gaza by land, air, and sea, in accordance with international law.
