The Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories, a Defense Ministry body, says that 61 trucks of humanitarian aid crossed into Gaza today via the Rafah crossing with Egypt.

COGAT says that the trucks “contained food, water and medical supplies.”

The US has said it is hoping to increase the daily number of trucks crossing to 100.

For the first time since the start of the war, Egypt today allowed today Gazans — wounded and those with foreign passports — to cross into its territory.
