Aid trucks still waiting at Gaza crossing as Israeli forces delay entry

It’s just after 8am in Gaza and not a single truck has entered through the Kissufim crossing, one of the routes that had been expected to open today. There are dozens of trucks waiting for at least two hours for the green light from Israeli forces to move through, unload food supplies and return. Five crossings are meant to open in the south, and at least two in the north. Today, the expectation is for about 600 trucks carrying humanitarian aid – food, shelter materials, medicine and fuel. Some drivers told us they waited the entire day yesterday for clearance but never received it, eventually returning home with their trucks still full.
