Between 300 and 350 lorries carrying humanitarian supplies have entered Gaza each day since the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel took effect on January 19, Egyptian border authorities have said. Under the truce, Israel has lifted a blockade on the entry of aid into Gaza. Thousands of lorries have reached Egypt’s border with Gaza, to deliver supplies to the Palestinian territory, where many Gazans have been displaced multiple times and have faced severe food shortages. It was reported that the lorries lined up in their hundreds this week at the Al Awga and Karam Abu Salem border crossings, waiting to pass through multiple levels of heavy security.
