First aid trucks enter Gaza after almost three-month blockade, UN says
Briefly

Five trucks of humanitarian aid entered Gaza after a 90-day blockade by Israel, as confirmed by the UN. Prime Minister Netanyahu mentioned this decision followed pressure from allies concerned about the negative portrayal of hunger amid military operations. While this delivery is seen as a positive step, it is insufficient to meet the growing humanitarian crisis faced by over two million Palestinians in the region. Israel's military actions continue, raising alarms about potential famine and further exacerbation of the situation.
The UN called the delivery a "welcome development" but stressed that much more aid is needed to address the humanitarian crisis in the Strip.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu indicated that continued aid to Gaza was necessary to mitigate potential images of hunger during Israel's military operations.
